...next day. He pled not guilty in August to all four charges. The probable cause hearing, which will be held in Cambridge District Court, will allow a judge to determine whether the prosecution has enough evidence to charge a crime outside of its jurisdiction, according to the Massachusetts Bar Association Web site.

Copney, 20, who both live in New York, have also been implicated in the murder, which allegedly took place inside the Kirkland Annex and drew national media attention.

...Teressa Bellissimo's husband, Frank, told the New Yorker that the wings had been invented out of necessity; the bar had accidentally received a shipment of wings (instead of other chicken parts) and didn't know what to do with them. However, Bellissimo's son, Dominic, disputed his father's story. Dominic claimed that the wings were an impromptu midnight snack Teressa created on his request; he had been drinking with friends and asked his mother to whip up something for them to eat. The stories don't necessarily contradict each other - perhaps Teressa decided to serve her son some...
