McCollum Out on Bond; Police Source Says Suspected Serial Killer Confessed to McCollum's Crime





Q: When does someone charged with murder not pose a threat to public safety?

A: When he is innocent.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas for Claude McCollum.  Today, at a bond hearing,  prosecutors supported his release, telling the court that they do not believe he poses a threat to public safety. McCollum was released to an aunt pending a re-trial that is looking more and more like it will never happen.  Later in the day, more good news surfaced when a state police officer, breaking a gag rule, released the one nugget that we've all been waiting for -- suspected serial killer and rapist Matthew Macon confessed to the murder and sexual assault of Carolyn Kronenberg, the Lansing Community College Professor, whom McCollum was convicted of killing.  To see videos and photos of this glorious day, see Kevin Grasha's stories at: http://www.lsj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071016/NEWS01/710160353/1001/news&template=printart
