Police arrested a second suspect Thursday in a fatal shooting outside a north Atlanta country club as new details emerged about the leniency granted in an earlier case to the 17-year-old accused gunman.
Jayden Myrick, who was arrested in the shooting last month, was the big test case for reforming juvenile offenders outside of adult prison, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Doris Downs told the teenager during a hearing on March 12, according to a transcript made public Thursday. Downs overruled a prosecutors insistence that Myrick was dangerous and a request to revoke his probation for an armed robbery he committed in 2015 at age 14.
Downs told Myrick at the end of the March hearing, Im pulling for you.
Ive got your name etched in the back of my head, the judge said. I go to sleep at night and Im wondering where you are and what you are up to [The prosecutor] says weve made the mistake of a lifetime, and Im hoping were right.
Four months later, Myrick was back in jail, accused of killing 34-year-old Christian Broder, a Washington, D.C., restaurant executive who was in Atlanta for a wedding. Broder, a husband and father of an infant, died about two weeks after the July 8 shooting.
On Thursday, the Atlanta Police Department arrested the second suspect, 19-year-old Torrus Fleetwood, who is accused of driving a stolen 2014 Dodge Charger to the gates of the Capital City Club near Brookhaven, where Broder and three others were waiting for an Uber after leaving the wedding reception. Police said it was Myrick who jumped out, pointed a gun at the wedding guests and demanded their belongings. Broder followed Myrick, trying to negotiate, according to police reports, and Myrick pulled the trigger, shooting him in the stomach.

Or something.
The crazy eyes and the sardonic smile of the Leftist extreme is unsettling at best and Stepford like at worst.
People need to understand, each time a criminal appears in court they earn money for the courthouse crowd. The Judges, The prosecutors and the court appointed defense attorneys all make money at each hearing at the taxpayers expense. The more times the criminals are caught and released the bigger earners they are for the courthouse. Also the longer the trials drag out the more money the courthouse makes.
I used to think she was cute, but as with most Leftist women, they just lose the luster once they come out and make fools of themselves.
You nailed it, Drew.
Prison is ‘graduate school’ for black thugs.
