You’re not wrong. But she had 3(?) eye witnesses with her in the car. Everyone is going to hang their hat on that difference. I’m sure we all know that if that kid was in the car with three black dudes, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.

My understanding is that he was only held for two hours before he was released.
However, he was charged with two felonies yesterday related to the shooting, so the forum’s collective pre-rustling seems unwarranted.
Mr. Lester had been charged with assault in the first degree, a class-A felony, and could face life in prison if convicted. He also was charged with armed criminal action, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison, Mr. Thompson said.
I’ll admit, I was not expecting that (even with protests). Good on the DA for actually doing his fucking job. Now lets hope he puts this guy in prison.
