To follow up a previous post, Brandon Johnson, the youth involved in an alleged police beating, and who was recently arrested following a search warrant executed at the house where lives with his mother and brothers, has now had all charges (including one involving "gang activity") dropped except for one, "danagerous possession of a firearm."
The basis for this lone remaining charge? A photograph of a gun found on Johnson's cell phone. I kid you not. The Marion County Prosecutor's office has filed a charge against Johnson that having possession of a picture of a gun is apparently the same thing as actually having a gun.
The prosecutor's office can't be serious. The judge should immediately throw out the charge and hold the prosecutor's office in contempt for bringing such an obviously baseless charge.
