One of the suspects charged in the 1992 killing of a Rochester man appeared in Orleans County Court Monday. Shaliq Reed, 35, appeared with new representation, Mary Beth Feindt, and entered a not guilty plea.

Reed is charged with second-degree murder for the death of John Rutledge, then 20, in the Town of Carlton. Codefendant Joyce E. Powell, 47, is also charged with second-degree murder in this case.

He is currently serving a 25-year-to-life sentence in state prison for shooting a man to death in 1997. He is scheduled to re-appear Feb. 8 and March 22.

In other court cases:

• Alan R. Davis, 40, of Medina, pled guilty to first-degree reckless endangerment and driving while intoxicated, with a sentence not to exceed 4 years in state prison. Without a plea, Davis faced up to 7 years in prison on the reckless endangerment charge, and 1 year in jail for driving while intoxicated.

During court, Davis admitted to driving on county highways July 3, 2009 with a blood alcohol content of .17. He also admitted to being pursued by police in a high-speed chase.

Assistant District Attorney John Sansone told Punch that the chase occurred during the Fourth of July fireworks in Albion, and many people were walking around the streets. The chase took police through Albion to Genesee County, then to Niagara County.

“This created a great risk of death to people on the highways,” Judge James Punch said.

Davis is scheduled to be sentenced April 19.

• David C. Slocum, 21, of Holley, was sentenced to 1 1/3 to 4 years in state prison on a third-degree burglary charge. Before sentencing, Slocum apologized to all those he hurt. Punch said he can not turn Slocum loose on the public. Slocum was given probation three separate times during his criminal past, which Punch said was more than enough opportunity to get help and deal with his drug problem.

“You’ve had more opportunities than most people have had in their life to get help,” Punch said.

• Gregory J. Thompson, 41, of Medina, pled guilty to second-degree attempted criminal possession of a forged instrument, with sentencing not to exceed 1 1/2 to 3 years. He was facing 2 to 4 years in prison.

Thompson admitted to being in possession of a check that he forged on March 2009. He said the check belonged to someone else and he tried to cash it.

He is scheduled to be sentenced April 5.
