NEW: The Clay County prosecutor has charged 84-year-old Andrew Lester in the shooting of Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old Black boy in Kansas City who went to the wrong address to pick up his siblings last week.
The prosecutor announced that Lester has been charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. A warrant has been issued for the man’s arrest; his bond has been set at $200,000.
His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)
Adnan Syed: All charges dropped
“Baltimore's state attorney said the dropping of charges means the case against Syed is closed and he cannot be charged again.”
Well done @rabiasquared and @Undisclosedpod team. Hope Syed family heal soon

“The DNA results confirmed what we have already known and what underlies all of the current proceedings: that Adnan is innocent and lost 23 years of his life serving time for a crime he did not commit,” Adnan Syed's attorney said in a statement.

It's still sinking in. The State knew an alternate suspect said “he would make her [Hae] disappear. He would kill her,” & they didn't disclose it to the defense. As a result, an innocent high school student was wrongfully convicted & imprisoned for 23 years. #freeadnan
BREAKING: Queen Elizabeth II has died, Buckingham Palace says. Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, and a rock of stability over more than seven decades, was 96.
Elizabeth was on the throne as the U.K. rebuilt from war, and both entered and left the E.U. https://t.co/GhOpxV9ggc
Thoughts and prayers aren’t synonymous. One is to yourself and the other is to God. We have to make sure we are following through and intentionally taking these concerns, hopes, and questions TO GOD.
