VICTIM'S FAMILY SPEAKS AT AN ANTI-VIOLENCE RALLY

The family of a Pennsylvania man who was killed at an Interstate 95 rest stop came to the scene of the slaying to speak at an anti-violence rally.

Farrah Durham, the 18-year-old daughter of victim Bobby Lee Durham, said Wednesday it will be difficult to graduate from high school knowing that her father won't be around.

``It's hard,'' Farrah Durham said. ``Everyone else's dad is going to be there. . . He wanted me to graduate and finish school.''

Prosecutors contend that Michael T. Baggett, Khalif Rodriguez and Andre V. Carter robbed and killed Durham, 51, of Dover, Pa., on Dec. 18.

A Prince William County grand jury returned indictments this week against Baggett Jr., 20, and Rodriguez, 18, on charges of murder, robbery and using a firearm in a felony.

Carter, the alleged triggerman, was indicted March 3 on charges of capital murder, robbery and using a firearm in a felony. ILLUSTRATION: ASSOCIATED PRESS
