Do you think that someone should've been arrested? My brother sustained 263 stitches and 22 staples and a close brush with death. Unbelievably no one was ever charged, not to mention another brother was involved in the same incident and was stabbed in the groin area, again no one was ever charged. At the time my brother was just 20 years old, the person of interest was 42 years old with priors and there was no love lost between them. Even after a visit to the local Police Station in fear for his life there was never an arrest made behind the stabbings. What happened to the police officers oath to serve and protect the public? Two weeks after this brutal stabbing the "person of interest" saw Corey out n about just riding in his car, went home called 911 and reported that he had seen Corey and was afraid that Corey had gone home to get a gun. The 911 operator had advised the "person of interest" to stay in the house, don't come out under any circumstances. Person of interest leaves the house anyway, finds Corey and pulls up a gun and points out at Corey, by this time since the stabbing and no arrest have been made, Corey has armed himself with a gun also for protection. POI points the gun at Corey and out of fear Corey starts shooting. This all happened exactly 6 minutes after the 911 call that POI made. Corey, timid by nature, freaked out and just started shooting, not realizing he had shot POI because his van continued 3 blocks, brake lights coming on briefly, and making a left hand turn and coming to a complete stop at the stoplight.
By not having any priors and ignorant to the law of due process we went with a Public Defender. He failed to make sure Corey had jurors of his peers on the panel. He even agreed to having a ministers wife on his panel. He advised Corey not to take the stand, plus he refused to call witnesses that he had subpoened to testify on his behalf. His only witness was our Mother, and she wasn't even there. When the prosecutor asked our Mother did Corey shoot to kill or to scare the man, my Mom's response was "given those two options" to scare him. The prosecutor repeated the question and again my Mom answered that he had shot to scare the man.
That constituted terrorism which was not a felony in 1991, but he was charged with 1st degree murder with discharging a firearm within city limits as the underlying felony. To top things off Coreys Public Defender was appointed judge just 2 months later after Corey was charged.
Now 24 years later Corey is still fighting to come home. That's why we desperately need your help in raising funds for a great lawyer that he has put his faith and trust in. She says that she can bring him home. At $250.00 an hour we need help. This is how he looks now. He was just a scared kid acting in self defense. What would you have done?
