Amanda Powell, center, of Detroit, weeps as she passes the casket containing the body of 15-year-old Jamar Pinkney Jr. during a funeral service Monday at Second Ebenezer Church in Detroit, Monday. Relatives say Jamar's father, Jamar Pinkney Sr., was irate over allegations that his son had sexual contact with a 3-year-old girl and made him strip at gunpoint, marched him to a vacant lot and shot him as he begged for his life. Prosecutors have charged him with first-degree murder and jailed him without bond.
