Charged with looting the life savings of his grandmother, legendary Philadelphia radio host Mary Mason, Calvin Steven Turner IV had nothing to say Tuesday after he bolted from a Norristown courtroom after a brief pretrial hearing.

But both his lawyer, Martin P. Mullaney, and Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Christopher Daniels  said the possibility of a plea deal was back on the table, which would relieve Turner from having to stand trial in the case.

The development comes more than three months after Turner, 34, balked at pleading guilty after first indicating that he would take a deal.
