Thanks for the catch on this. It's unbelievable. I thought this garbage was brought to an end a couple decades ago, at least. Whatever the reasons, every kid who was present should be going down for accessory to capital murder and the leader of the pack out to be good for 1st degree outright.....if Justice were applied properly.
...in no way was i condoning their behavior... fact is - we know very little about this case and even less about those that were not charged with a crime... if you want to help air this case, be calm and rational about it... afterall, this is just a discussion board, not a court of law the case will be tried in...

Deryl Dedmon, 18, is charged with murder in connection with the Sunday death of James Craig Anderson. He is accused of running Anderson, 49, over with his truck.
Pastor Brian Richardson, of Castlewoods Baptist Church, said his son, a student at Brandon High School, was bullied by Dedmon.
"My son was harassed by Deryl Dedmon. Beginning in 2008, specifically September 2008, Deryl began this campaign of harassment against my son and it continued for two years," Richardson said
Richardson said in 2009, his son called police after Dedmon and a group of boys confronted him at a Brandon pond and tried to start a fight. He said the group, including Dedmon, tormented several teens in the community, using racial and homphobic slurs.
"I thought it was obviously painfully clear that Daryl was going to injure someone severely or possibly kill someone. And I believe if he doesn't get some help, if he isn't taken off the streets that it's going to happen again," Richardson said.

One of two teenagers accused in what police described as a hate crime is out of jail after a Monday hearing.
A judge knocked down a murder charge against John Aaron Rice to aggravated assault.
In the ruling, Judge William Barnett said Rice would be "bound over as a charge of simple assault (and) bond is set at $5,000."

Video has surfaced implicating seven white teenagers in a gruesome June 26 Mississippi hate crime that left one black man mutilated and dead.
The recently released footage shows the teens beating and ultimately running over 49-year-old James Craig Anderson. The suspects reportedly left a Hinds County, Mississippi party together with the intention of finding a black victim and drove to a nearby predominantly black area of Jackson where they attacked Anderson, the first black man they saw upon exiting the highway.

Seven white teens go looking for a "black" man to "mess with". The first "black" man they see they assault and then run him over with their truck. The man dies. Two out of the seven teens are charged. One out of the two teens charged gets his charges dropped down to a "simple assault".
The ring leader and actual killer has a $50,000 bond (which was paid) and he is out of jail.
The actual truck used in the crime was returned to the family after it was "checked out".
The other five teens were not charged with anything.edit on 8/8/2011 by ProphecyPhD because: (no reason given)edit on 8/8/2011 by ProphecyPhD because: spelling and video
