Legal Action Taken Against Bus Beating Victim Sunday, December 30, 2007 WBAL Radio as reported by Anne Kramer
The attorney for one of nine Baltimore middle school students charged with beating a woman on a city bus says the student has filed assault charges against that woman.
Nakita McDaniels' attorney Kimberly Thomas says the teen's complaints that Sarah Kreager assaulted her were not investigated by police or the State's Attorney's Office. Thomas says McDaniels filed charged on Friday and trial is set for Jan. 31, the same day the trial for the nine teens charged in the assault on Kreager is scheduled.
The nine children, all black and aged 14 or 15, face assault charges for the December 4th beating of Kreager, who is white, but prosecutors decided against hate crime charges.
They believe racial epithets were used during the fight, but that it started over a seat dispute and that Kreager was not targeted because of her race.
I’m speechless.
They believe racial epithets were used during the fight???
Gosh what’s the big deal? It was only a white woman getting the hell beat out of her by a bunch of black punks, that’s no crime in America. sarc
Yep, she kept hurting their fists with her face. That brutal lady.
Classic blame the victim. If you can get a stupid or biased jury, the victim will become the perpetrator. Beyond disgusting.
That’s classic Baltimore.
Won’t be long before Jesse and Al show up!
What kind of jury do you think they get in Baltimore/s
Self defense in response to an unprovoked attack=assault, to garbage thugs.
The nine children, all black and aged 14 or 15,
If it were 9 white thugs who attacked a black woman, they'd be described as "teenagers" or "minors".
free the baltimore 9! /sarc
Trial is Jan 31?? Am I reading that correctly? How can it be so soon?
I almost thought this was an Onion article when I first saw it. Maybe someone needs to organize a rally in support of the beating victim. What a joke.
She probably did use racial epithets as she was being beaten. You’re supposed be silent when getting beaten, right? Therefore, the “children” will not be charged with any hate crimes. In fact, I’d be surprised the prosecutors push anything against them considering the constituency. It’s Baltimore, people, the new New Orleans.
More likely “young adults”...
Exactly. Using “children” to describe people of 14 or 15 is meant to create an emotional response in the reader-of pity for these poor, helpless tykes. And most people (regardless of the legal definition) tend to reserve children for prepubescents; say, 10 and younger. The use of ‘children’ in this article is disguised editorial comment.
