The East Lansing man who allegedly shook and punched his infant son to death might have the opportunity to be released from jail, Judge Clinton Canady III said in court Tuesday. Yumar Burks, 27, faces charges of murder and child abuse in relation to the death of his 6-month-old son, Antonio Burks. If Yumar Burks’ trial date is not set within 180 days of his indictment, he can appeal to be released from jail based on his right to a speedy trial. Yumar Burks currently is being held in the Ingham County Jail without bond. His trial most likely will be scheduled for early December — within the bracket of time given for him before he can request to be released from jail, Canady said. During interviews with East Lansing Police, Yumar Burks admitted to repeatedly hitting his child in the chest and shaking him. Antonio Burks’ died of blunt force trauma to the head on March 25, the coroner testified during Burks’ preliminary examination in East Lansing’s 54-B District Court. The manner of death was homicide, John Bechinski, a forensic pathologist at Lansing’s Sparrow Hospital who conducted the autopsy, said previously in court. More than 20 bruises covered the baby’s body, Bechinski previously said in court. Yumar Burks declined an offer by prosecutors to plead guilty to murder. “We’re prepared to go to trial to prove his innocence,” Yumar Burks’ attorney, Mike O’Briants said.

A team of MSU researchers in the School of Hospitality Business has worked with hotel industry experts to develop a system that ranks top real estate markets around the country in terms of financial viability. Arjun Singh, an associate professor of international lodging, finance and real estate, and Raymond Schmidgall, the Hilton Hotels Professor of Hospitality Financial Management, worked jointly with about 30 industry members to implement the Lodging Market Potential Index, a system that ranks potential land investment hot spots. Using the opinions and insight of industry experts, the two researchers devised a system based on 10 different dimensions and 30 different indicating factors, all of which are used to rank the top 25 major hotel markets in the country. Singh and Schmidgall presented their findings at the Midwest Lodging Investors Summit this past July, something they’ve done for roughly the past three years, Singh said. The system’s rankings then can be used to determine the financial solvency of long-term investment in specific cities.
