Cheyenne Williams Case: All Charges Dismissed Against Girls Who Attacked Lesbian Classmate

• This is ridiculous those girls should be punished to the max. This sends a message to teenagers around the world that its ok to pick on someone or harm someone because of their sexuality. They deserve the max punishment for the crime they committed!!

• Ok, some of you guys are apparently not familiar with this case judging by your remarks concerning the charges being dropped. This article pertaining to it left out a bunch of other info from the post about it before. Such as, the three girls that were charged had grew up with Cheyenne and all four were close friends. And yes they knew she was gay. She was open about her sexuality. And as far as the video recording on Cheyennes cell phone, tt apparently showed the three girls making remarks to her but not in a convincingly serious manner. It seemed more like an act or just joking around. It supposedly even had Cheyenne laughing or snickering at some of the things the other girls said. Thats why the judge didn't feel charges were necessary after viewing it. As it says in the article above "the tape would prove the incident to be nothing more than a bad joke misconstrued.". It would seem Cheyenne's mother is the real guilty party here. She's the one trying to make claim this was an assult after getting ahold of the recording. It even sounds as if she coerced her daughter to change the story involving the incident to be more sinister when it was really just four friends joking around. I'm sure the motive behind the mother doing this was more than likely money. That seems to be a likely scenario. She probably thought she could sue the girls families or something.

• ok this just pisses me off. these girls getway with atempted murder becuse they didnt' want to file it as a hate crime? Someone PLEASE tell me the family is gonna to take this to a state court or federal OR SOMETHING.

• Dammit Leah you beat me to it. lol

• @Leah, that's a very good point. Civil Court has a completely different standard of evidence than Criminal Court does (Preponderance of Evidence as opposed to Clear and Convincing Evidence in a non-Homicide related criminal trial). The only problem with Civil Court is it is based on Tort Law, meaning one must demonstrably show Monetary Damage to Person or Property. However, if Cheyenne has had to see a Doctor or a Psychologist for anxiety or trauma coming from this incident then they most definitely have grounds for a solid Civil Case, being able to demonstrably show Pain & Suffering.

• All funny and everything but this could have ended up being another Matthew Shepard story. Has the people in this world not learned from the stories and lives that have been ripped to sheads!!

• This is very sad that these three bigots are going to be allowed to get away with this scot free! Where in the world did these three girls get the notion that they were so much more superior than Cheyenne Williams and that they had the right to judge her in the first place? And then to actually act on it? People need to remember that we all have skeletons in our closet and no one is perfect.

• The porky piglet who attacked the girl is obviously a closet carpet muncher.

• A gay man trapped in a woman's body--LOL! Oh, that's all kinds of funny and messed up in the head. I know, as far as I'm concerned, all the rest of our comments are just background noise. LOL

• "Flat Lick Falls?" ... I'm a little slow today LOL

• I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body...I saw a woman wearing a t-shirt that said that on it LOL

• Well, since Chris Crocker likes Rosie, then I'd say definitely Bull although I'm right there with you in wanting to just say "loudmouth". ;)

• Mark, where does Rosie O'Donnell fit in the scenario? Lipstick or bulldyke? Or maybe just a loudmouth.

• You know Mark, I've noticed that too.

• Now, now. They can't all be Lipstick Lesbians. Half of them have to be Bullish by some natural law. Otherwise, you'd be denying the hot Lipstick Lesbians their Female Husbands. (And yes, it is perfectly natural for a Straight Guy to be attracted to femmie Lipstick Lesbians but not their Bullish manly sisters...just as it would be perfectly natural for a Gay Guy to be attracted to the manly Bullish Lesbians but not the femmie Lipstick Lesbians.) Come on, I don't know any Straight Guy that thinks Ellen DeGeneres is hot by any stretch of the imagination, but Portia de Rossi on the other hand...yet every Gay Guy I know swears the opposite and thinks Ellen is all that and a bag of chips. ;)

• I'm so tired of ugly lesbians.

• Oh come on Sangelia! Bible believers may be in agreement that gays/lesbians are living a perverted lifestyle but I don't see any that advocate killing them.

• thing is, kentucky is a bible belt state. and these gals were just following the biblical command to kill gays. I agree, the state justice system is a joke. just like it is up in minn.

• LMFAO!!! Leah, that was perfect.

• "Flat Lick Falls" sounds like the punchline of a Lesbian joke just waiting to happen. Okay, I'm fine with not prosecuting this as a Hate Crime. I'm even fine with charges being downgraded from Attempted Murder to 4th Degree Assault and Menacing. But dropping the charges entirely? WTF??? So, in other words, it is entirely okay to dress up in white robes and burn crosses on people's front lawns in Kentucky because it is just a "misconstrued bad joke"? In other words, it's okay for Guido to hang someone off the top of a skyscraper by their ankles threatening to drop them if they don't pay up because it is just a "misconstrued bad joke"? In other words, it's okay to mail those photos of the Mayor with their mistress with a note demanding a weekly stipend or those photos because it is just a "misconstrued bad joke"? I'm sorry, but the only "misconstrued bad joke" is the Justice System in Kentucky. Although, what else can you expect from a bunch of Rednecks that Trademarked their State's name!
