[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Brittany Covington, 19,was one of four suspects in a horrific crime. A disabled man was kidnapped by someone he assumed was a friend. He was held for two days. During that time, he was tortured and much of the incident was broadcast on Facebook Live. And now one of those guilty of the torture has been sentenced, as she will receive no jail time.

 

The incident began in Chicago on December 31st when the victim was picked up at a local McDonalds. The four black suspects drove him around in a rented van before bringing him back to an apartment where the physical torture began.

As part of her plea deal, Covington is avoiding jail time.

I am guessing as in most stories that run the other way on the racist spectrum, there is a lot more to the story . Brought to you from your friend in the Middle of the road.

This is a difficult one since there is a recorded record of the event.  The words of the judge are pretty telling.

I think you are only eligible for jail in Chicago if you kill someone. Even that is iffy.

The lack of angst from a particular side is particularly telling, as well.
