DA pushes for more restrictions in Adam Baker release




In a motion filed on April 21, attorneys requested a judge restrict Baker from leaving the 25th Prosecutorial District, which includes Burke, Catawba and Caldwell Counties.

Under his current pre-trial release, Baker is not allowed to leave the state but does not have any county restrictions.

On Wednesday, his lawyers filed a response asking the judge to deny the request. They argue Baker is not a flight risk, and he is already wearing an electronic monitor.

Zahra Baker's father sees charges dropped


The charges against Adam Baker were dismissed Friday in Superior Court in Newton. Baker's lawyer, Mark Killian, says the Australian native has made restitution in the case.

Baker was accused of writing bad checks for around $240 to local grocery stores.

He still faces other charges, including felony identity theft and obtaining property by false pretense.

Adam Baker makes court appearance
By: Jennifer Moxley

District Attorney Jay Gaither said he didn't want to comment as to why the state wants to keep such a close eye on Adam Baker. Meanwhile, while the multiple court hearings are held for Adam Baker and Elisa Baker, the community continues to build a memorial for Zahra alongside Christie Road where her prosthetic leg and a bone were discovered.

"The indictment alleges Elisa Baker conspired and distributed oxycodone, hydrocodone and alprazolam from at least 2006 to October 2010, when she was arrested in connection with Zahra's death. Oxycodone and hydrocodone are prescription painkillers and alprazolam, commonly know as Xanax, is used to treat anxiety disorders."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR will pay tribute to Zahra Baker at Friday night's truck race.

The 10-year-old Hickory girl was killed in September 2010.

On Tuesday, Kyle Busch Motorsports and Speedway Children's Charities announced Busch will drive in the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 with Zahra's name and picture above the passenger side window of his truck.

The speedway will also call for a moment of silence and release balloons in Zahra's honor before the race.

Zahra's stepmother, Elisa Baker, is charged with second-degree murder in the girl's death.

What happened to Zahra Baker?

Snipped:


When Good Weekend calls in at the apartment, Adam is wary and withdrawn. He has thick, muscled arms and a broad chest that were built with work or weights but seem to have sagged in idleness. He carries a saggy paunch. There are dark rings beneath his eyes and he frequently looks away when talking. He seems tired, dishevelled and acquiescent. His bed is a small mattress on the floor of the flat's congested living room. Karen is kindly but fiercely protective of the son who mostly defers to her. She came to Hickory from Giru shortly after Zahra's death.

Adam declines an offer of dinner to talk about co-operating with me, but he does accept a beer, saying,"Christ, it's a while since I had one of these." He variously claims that he has been too busy to talk, despite being unemployed, or that he has been in discussions with his lawyer about Good Weekend's request
