Am I the only person that thinks that JJ & JJ are getting railroaded?

The accusation against these two has always been that they attacked Lowery(no matter how true is or not that is the allegation). However, they are being charged with 2nd degree battery which is called for by the injuries sustained by the driver(vertebrae damage). None of the eyewitnesses connected these two to the attack on the driver. The police didn't connect these two with the driver. What gives?

I just don't see the justification for the charge. The guy they were connected to doesn't have any serious injuries.

The stomping of someone while on the ground is cause for the charge. There doesn't have to be long term injuries. The act alone is enough, unfortunately for JJ/JJ.

I'm fairly sure that the BRPD didn't act on accusations alone.

Caddy, if you kicked someone who had surrendered, and I told the cops I saw you do it. You would be arrested.

They got every concievable benefit of the doubt. It sucks and I wish the guy would have dropped charges but he didn't. One bad decision cost JJ this oppurtunity, but it's that way for all of us!! If I was at a company meeting and defended a girl by getting into a fight, I would be fired the next day. It's life.

that incident isn't enough to charge JJ/JJ. BRPD doesn't have enough proof for it.

If JJ would have used his fist I would say railroaded. A judge would throw out any bar fistfight...but the matter of the foot is a different story

I beg to differ. The seriousness of the injuries dictate the degree of the charge. They don't even have concrete proof that either one of them stomped the kid. The kicker in the video looks to be about 5'10" using the girl he was standing next to as a frame of reference.

Not true. Second degree battery requires a specific type of injury.

Lowery is claiming loss of consciousness which would satisfy that "severe" injury needed for a 2nd degree battery charge.

By what you can see. Maybe they have a litttle more than what you can see. Why don't you go ask them to let you see.

Actually I stated that they were railroaded first. But, my assertion is that the charge against the two isn't warranted if they were involved in the story as it has been relayed by police.(I didn't even get into whether or not that is the actual occurrence of events). I'm just saying that what the police said they did does not warrant 2nd degree charges. First degree I can see, but not second.
