  "summary": "Four men accused of murdering two police officers and two civilians in Reiger Park in August are set to learn on Tuesday whether they will be granted bail. Reagan Cheslin Collis, 23, and his three co-accused - Jamal Meyer, 24; Elvino Levert Crafford, 27; and Mcfoolen Ford, 26 - face charges of murder, robbery, and firearm offenses. The court postponed the bail hearing from September 23 to October 6 after both the prosecution and defense agreed to the delay. All four defendants have claimed that police forced them to confess, and Collis is accused of contravening correctional services rules by possessing a cellphone while in custody.",
