ANNAPOLIS, Md. - A grand jury in Anne Arundel County declined Friday to indict a 16-year-old boy for second-degree murder in the beating death of another teen.
Javel George still faces a manslaughter charge filed by the State's Attorney in the death of 14-year-old Christopher Jones of Crofton.
Prosecutors can't provide details about the evidence because of laws surrounding grand jury testimony.
Investigators say George attacked Jones while he was riding his bicycle.
Another 14-year-old old faces charges as a juvenile in connection with Jones' death.
TOP: More than 500 people gathered in Crofton to honor 14-year-old Christopher Jones, who died on Nantucket Drive after he was attacked by two boy while riding his bike.
LEFT: Javel Marqueth George, 16, was charged as an adult with manslaughter, assault and reckless endangerment.
RIGHT: Christopher David Jones, 14, victim of an attack in Crofton.
What was the composition of the Grand Jury? In a heavily black Baltimore/DC area with Black pols in power, the answer is obvious.
Does Javel have a record? Oh, of course not; what is it?
This stinks to High Heaven.
But in “The Age of Obama,” I guess it’s what we should expect for the future. Not just re-distribution of income but also re-distribution of justice.
A racial lynching.
Not so obvious.
The racial makeup of the county is 81.24% White, 13.57% black (2000 census)
McCain carried the county over Obama.
The county has a republican executive.
Why isn’t this a hate crime?
I think we know the answer to that question.
Gee...I gotta give *that* question some *serious* thought.
