Manslaughter charge added against teen arrested in deadly Great Frederick Fair assault

Prosecutors have added a manslaughter charge against the 15-year-old Frederick resident arrested last month after a fatal assault at The Great Frederick Fair.

Prosecutor Laura Wilt, with the Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office, said at a hearing Monday that her office filed the manslaughter charge, one count of first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault against the 15-year-old. His 16-year-old brother has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault.

The 15-year-old punched 59-year-old Mount Airy resident John Weed and knocked him to the ground, said Will Cockey, a spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office. The 16-year-old was charged with two counts of second-degree assault, one for an initial punch to the back of the head, the other for spitting on Weed as he was on the ground, Cockey said.

  1. click on the link - look at the way the Media portrays this. First-line - " A Crowd " waits outside. That is not a crowd, and all the media wants to do is portray this wrong.

  4. 10:19 semantics. An easy way for you to write off any media portrayal because you don't agree with their numerical definition of a crowd.
