Yesterday, the lawyer for 20-year old University of
Virginia student, Martese Johnson, filed a motion to have Johnon’s charges
against him dropped. According to The
Washington Post, Johnson’s lawyer, Daniel Watkins, stated that the charges
had “lack of reasonable suspicion to detain him.”
Johnson was beaten by Alcohol Beverage Control
agents before being arrested on March 18th. The student was then slapped with
charges of “public intoxication” and “obstruction without force” soon after.
However, Watkins states that the defendants lack evidence of Johnson being
intoxicated that night. The case went national national after the news expanded
through social media platforms.
