Former defendant in Ray Lewis murder case indicted

ATLANTA - A former defendant in the Ray Lewis murder trial has been indicted on aggravated assault and related charges involving a stolen 1999 Mercedes. <br> <br> Reginald Oakley, one of two men acquitted in the murder trial involving the Baltimore Ravens linebacker, was arrested Aug. 8, 2001 after a police chase. He was charged with driving a stolen car. <br> <br> District Attorney Paul Howard said Tuesday charges include possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, theft by receiving stolen property, possession of a vehicle with altered vehicle identification number and attempting to elude police. <br> <br> Oakley, 26, fled when police stopped him after he narrowly missed striking Atlanta police Officer Kelly Lambert, Howard said. <br> <br> Lewis was charged with murder along with Oakley and Joseph Sweeting in the stabbing deaths of two men outside an Atlanta nightclub following a party after Super Bowl 2000. The case was settled when Lewis pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice. <br> <br> He testified against Oakley and Sweeting and was sentenced to a year of probation.
