Final arguments in trial against 12-year-old girl mistaken for hooker - Boing Boing →
Because we’re too busy bitching about the octuplets lady? Yah, this story is pretty horrifying. I wish it was getting more attention. I’ve been trying to follow it for a little while - I keep hoping it’ll bubble up onto the radar a bit more, but no such luck…The Houston Press reports that final arguments are being held in the criminal assault trial against Dymond Milburn who was 12 years old when four Galveston police officers (David Roark, Justin Popovich, Sean Stewart, and Sgt. Gilbert Gomez) allegedly beat her up with a flashlight and threatened to shoot her puppy, while she was in her yard attending to tripped circuit breaker.
Three weeks later, police showed up at Milburn’s school and arrested her for assault. Hence, the trial against her.Why aren’t the media screaming about this?
Oh yeah. That happened. I think I’m going to look at cute overload now. On second thought I’m going to finish my application essay for social work school and put it in the mail.
