| Subject: Jury fucks up again: Outrage at teen shooting decision follows Sat Aug 10, 2013 12:18 am | |
| Eighteen months after a police officer fatally shot an unarmed teenager in the bathroom of his home in the Bronx, the case against the officer has unravelled, with a grand jury declining to bring criminal charges in the case.
Thursday's decision was met with shock from the district attorney in the Bronx, Robert Johnson, and threatened to aggravate anger among supporters and relatives of the shooting victim, Ramarley Graham, who was aged 18.
That anger had been largely calmed after the officer, Richard Haste, was initially indicted last year on manslaughter charges. But a judge dismissed the indictment in May, saying prosecutors had improperly precluded the grand jury from considering Mr Haste's claim that he believed Mr Graham was armed.
