The son of a famed NBAer now in the Hawks front office is accused of killing a friend; another suspect is charged with breaking into Tyler Perry's house; some electricity bills are taking a huge jump next month; a 12-year-old girl finds porn on her Christmas gift.  Details on today's KISS News Now! 

• The 20-year-old son of former Dallas Mavericks star Nick Van Exel has been charged in Dallas, Texas with capital murder in the death of a close friend.  Police say Nickey Maxwell Van Exel (right) is jailed on $1 million bond in the fatal shooting of Bradley Eyo, who had been killed at a home and dumped near a lake.  Van Exel's lawyer says the friend was killed while the two were horsing around with Van Exel's stepfather's gun, which Van Exel didn't know was loaded.  A deputy police chief in Dallas says the killing is a capital crime because the body was moved from the place of death and because some property had been taken from the victim.  The elder Van Exel is in player development for the Atlanta Hawks.  A team statement says their thoughts are with the family.
  
  
• An 18-time violator with 10 convictions allegedly kills a state trooper; now, city leaders look to change the justice system. Atlanta's mayor, Atlanta's police chief, and Fulton County's District Attorney want to review a program meant to fast-track low-level felony cases.  Greg Favors had been released on bond two weeks ago, despite the recommendation of pretrial services.  He didn't have any violent crimes on his rap sheet. 
  
  
• Funeral services are this afternoon in Marietta for Trooper Chadwick LeCroy.  The 38-year-old leaves behind a wife and two sons.  Troopers from other states arrived in Georgia Thursday for the wake.  The funeral is at 1:00.
  
  
• Atlanta Police arrest a second teenager for a break-in at Tyler Perry's Buckhead home.  17-year-old Kamisha Boozer is out on $1,000 bail; her lawyer contends she's innocent.  Police are still looking for a third suspect.
  
  
• Looks like soon, only O.J. Simpson will be in prison for that 2007 kidnapping and armed robbery case in Las Vegas. There's word that his co-defendant CJ Stewart will be set free next week in a plea agreement.  The state high court had ruled that having Stewart tried along with Simpson worked against Stewart because of Simpson's notoriety.  He's likely to enter an Alford plea, which doesn't admit guilt but acknowledges that prosecutors probably could've convicted him with the evidence they had.
  
  
• Police say a man stripped to his skivvies at the Richmond, Virginia airport checkpoint in a protest against security procedures.   The Cincinnati college student, 21-year-old Aaron Tobey, took off his pants and shirt and had scrawled across his chest a reference to the Constitution's 4th Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure.  The TSA was not impressed.  He's due in court next month on a disorderly conduct charge.
  
  
• Not only will you have those holiday shopping bills to contend with next month, but you'll also be ringing in the new year with much higher electric bills.  The state approved a Georgia Power rate hike this month, on top of new fees to pay for future nuclear power plants.  The double whammy is expected to raise the average residential bill $14.50 a month.
  
  

• It was an unexpected--and unwanted--bonus of sorts on the tablet PC Jay Hardin bought for his 12-year-old daughter's Christmas:  pornography apps, all over the desktop.  One of them: "Boobs! Butts! Babes!"  Another:  "Undress Me."  The Illinois dad is not amused; he's nicknamed the computer the "perv pad."  The family, store and the company all swear they had nothing to do with the sexy app installation Coby Kyros computer.  The speculatation is that someone bought it, downloaded apps, and returned it to the store.  An identical tablet computer the family bought for their 15-year-oldl daughter did not have the sexy software.
  
  
• The KISS 104.1 weather forecast:  partly cloudy with a high of 60; overnight, lows in the low 50s.  Saturday, rain and thunderstorms likely, highs in the low 60s.  Sunday, chance of a morning shower, then decreasing cloudiness with highs in the mid-50s.
