Many of those arrested will be released on a no bail program instituted by now retired Liberal Chief Judge Reagan Miller and continue to commit crimes of violence.
Others are given a free passes by Mecklenburg DA Spencer Merriweather.

Ibn Ishamel Marshall and Anu'Bius Rashard Talib Smith were shot to death on February 27, 2019.
On March 1, 2019 Furqan Bashir Grice and Anthony Goodson were both charged with murder in the double homicide.
From a Local Television News Report:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police were called to the area of Morehead St. and Grandin Rd. around 9 p.m. Police said one victim was found in a parking lot, and two more were found in a car. Investigators believed all three victims were shot in the 600 block of Grandin Road, but two stayed inside the vehicle while the other ran down the street.
Police said the victims were taken to the hospital where two of them died. There was no immediate word on the condition of the third person.
The men who died were identified as 17-year-old Ibn Marshall and 18-year-old Anu'bius Smith.
On Friday, CMPD announced that Furqan Grice, 18, and Anthony Goodson, 18, were arrested in connection with their murders. Grice was arrested Thursday and is facing two counts of first-degree murder. Goodson was arrested Friday and is in the process of being interviewed by homicide detectives.
Two guns and some marijuana were found at the crime scene. Neighbors said the area is normally peaceful. Now they're dealing with a lost sense of security.
Goodson was charged with 2 counts of First Degree Murder as was Grice.

Goodson was charged with 2 counts of First Degree Murder as was Grice.
But the Mecklenburg DA dismissed the murder charges and both would pled to "Robbery with a dangerous weapon (attempted)" and receive minimal sentences with a maximum of 6 years and 2 months.
Goodson was released from prison on May 12th of this year. Grice was released on December 8th of last year. Both are still within their one year parole period.
And they now once again live among us.
Few people realize what the Mecklenburg DA has been doing. Every one of his case is a plea deal. No one does any real time. Many don't even go to trial. He'll tell you the cases were just to weak, the police work too sloppy and that juries feel sorry for people of color because they are so disadvantaged.
ReplyDeleteBro, it goes both ways.
DeleteI’ve seen cops get assaulted and the charges get reduced and it’s 1 day in jail. I’ve seen cases that are trashy and the ADA just laughs at the cops.
Address both sides of the coin.
I'm done with black Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteWhen did you start?
DeleteBlack fatigue
DeleteWhere is black Charlotte?
DeleteThe whole dump except for a sliver between Providence and Park, and it is shrinking.
DeleteWas at one time Central all the way around to South Tryon. Safe clean well cared for nice homes, schools shopping centers and white. Not anymore.
