The murder of a 17-year-old that rocked the campus of Delaware State University nearly two years ago may go unpunished.
A judge has dismissed the murder case against Loyer Braden citing the prosecution as withholding key witness evidence exonerating Braden.
The defense claims a witness walking with the victim Shalita Middleton when gunfire broke out told authorities the day after Braden was arrested that he was not the gunman, but that the prosecution did not disclose that information until last month.
DSU's acting President Claiborne Smith released this statement on Tuesday:
""We are disappointed that a jury may not get an opportunity to render a verdict in this case... Uppermost in our minds is Shalita Middleton, a beautiful young woman who lost her life in this incident...."
What??? Joe posts a story by WMDT?!!??
ReplyDeleteOh, nevermind... it's by Stacy Sakai. That explains it.
I guess it would have been better to punish an innocent person than catch who ever did it? From the story...

All to often across the country prosecutors have with held evidence like this and it always jeopardizes the case. It is a shame really.
It should be criminal. Whatever sentence the wrongly accused would have gotten, should be given to the one who knowingly wrongly accused him. Send that corrupt lawyer to jail for Murder. That would set a precedent.
