ROME - A third man is charged with the murders of two men during a fight last month outside Denny's Restaurant in Rome.

29 year old Kemel Richardson faces six charges, ranging from second-degree murder to gang assault.

Richardson joins Joshua Diggs and Jameen Kelly, who are also charged with the murders of Daniel Hernandez of Rome and Judson Watkins of Syracuse.

The three face the same six charges.

Diggs and Kelly are due to be arraigned on the crimes tomorrow morning in Oneida County Court. Richardson is due in court for an arraignment on Friday.

He is a person too!! Just because he killed someone outside of a dive restaurant doesn't mean he doesn't need to be cared for. I am sure that prison will rehabilitate him and when he comes out I will be waiting with open arms should he want me. I don't have a lot to give, only my SSI check but I have plenty of love and time to give. Be strong my man!!

I am pleased that another has been arrested. it is about time we crack down, and place these criminals behind bars where they belong. I just hope that it is for more than a few years, i noted that the guys in rome that killed carl hill, all go very little time in jail. so that is a shame.

What about innocent until proven guilty.Everyone is assuming that these young men are guilty without knowing the whole story. Would it be any different if they were the ones that died. The sad part is everyone's lives are ruined. What about self-defense? What would you do if you were in their situation. Hopefully justice will be served and the ones being accused are not the victims too. Let's not forget the two young men that passed were fighting also. We all will be judged in the end.

These men are not the type of men to kill without cause....they are husbands and fathers who made a few bad choices and were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Innocent until proven guilty, remember that?
