Looks like a gang fight. Even gang members have the right to self defense. The prosecutor says Lemmitt wrestled the gun away from Steed, then shot him with it.

In the video it appears about four people attacked Steed on the escalator. They are all in white shirts.

A middle-aged “white boy” wouldn’t get the same consideration.

In view of the totality of this evidence — in particular, the video evidence not available when charges were issued — we decided that Lemmitt acted in self-defense in shooting Steed and should not be prosecuted .."

The security video was not available for six months?

The big key to the case:

"Ribaudo dismissed counts...because...has been unwilling to cooperate with the police"

Remember boys & girls, Everything you say Can and Will be used against you.

The shooting closed the mall, trapping some employees and shoppers in stores during a lockdown.

It would take the hand of God himself to keep me locked in a store during a mall shooting.

[Renkluaf]

It took a year and one-half to look at the video and interview witnesses?

Those white shirt boys sure can run. They need to be on the football or track team. (Except, of course, the one that started things - he’s already on Team Cemetary.

I expect this won’t be the last arrest for Mr. Lemmitt, however.

I’d like to know what percentage of shooting in the US are blacks involved in. I suspect it is 90%. What is Biden’s plan to address that problem or does he just plan to disarm law abiding citizens?
