Suspects accused of torturing man in Facebook Live video get death threats, lawyer says

CHICAGO – The suspects accused of torturing a schizophrenic man and streaming it live on Facebook are now being threatened, one of their attorneys said at a court hearing Friday.

During the indictment, the judge tightened restrictions on news coverage of the case, according to WGN-TV.  Cameras are not allowed in the courtroom and the judge told the sketch artist to not draw the defendants or defense lawyers' faces after alleged death threats online.

Jordan Hill, Tesfaye Cooper, Brittany Covington – all 18 – and Covington’s 24-year-old sister, Tanishia Covington, are all charged in the kidnap and torture of an 18-year-old white schizophrenic man from Chicago suburb Crystal Lake
