As an alternative of dismissing the allegations within the face of the girl’s clear lies, the DA has adjusted the costs to match the girl’s new lies. To be clear, there are not any new fees towards Mr. Majors. Now, we now have obtained much more video proof of his innocence, however we’re hesitant to share it, for worry the DA will tip the girl off to vary her story once more.

Not one of the white officers current investigated the assault of Mr. Majors. Worse, the District Lawyer has not indicated any intention to pursue fees towards the girl, and even examine the reality.”
