Ohio son cuts deal, turns in father

CINCINNATI (AP) — Police in Cincinnati arrested a stunned courtroom spectator on a murder charge after his son made a deal with prosecutors.

Authorities say Kareem Gilbert agreed to testify against his father, Rueben Jordan, to get a lighter prison sentence. As the plea deal was announced Tuesday in Hamilton County court, detectives grabbed Jordan.

Gilbert was charged with killing Bryan Austin in 2008 after an argument, when Gilbert was 16. A witness was killed two weeks later and Gilbert also was charged in that case and faced life in prison on both counts.

But, in exchange for an 18-year sentence for the first killing, Gilbert told authorities his father killed the witness.

Thirty-seven-year-old Jordan was in jail without bond today.
