Former MTA bus driver Karen Murphy left district court in northwest Baltimore on Thursday after her first court appearance to answer to multiple charges of assault and conspiracy. Court documents said she told a group of juveniles to beat up a family of three that was riding on her bus.
"She actually let these children get off of this bus and beat me and my family for at least three minutes, then let them get back on, get weapons, get back off and back on again, and then took off with every one of them that did it," victim Kristina Gibson told 11 News reporter Lowell Melser.
Gibson said the incident happened on June 6, when she and her boyfriend, Christopher Fisher, were picking up their son, 9-year-old Logan, from school and were riding the No. 22 bus to Hampden from Greenmount Avenue.
According to charging documents, police were able to review video from the bus, which included audio of the exchange. The video showed the bus beginning to get crowded and that Murphy told everyone to move to the back of the bus.
According to the video, Fisher told Murphy that the bus was too crowded to do so, and the two exchanged words, with Murphy saying, "If you would have gotten your (expletive) off you wouldn't be having these problems. You better watch the way you're talking to me. … Come up here and I'll show you what I'll do. You better get your ass way back there in the back."
Crickets- if this had been reversed it would be international news
Trial was supposed to be Nov. 21 but I can’t find any articles on it or on a verdict.
You’re right...
