A judge in the United States has ruled that an 84-year-old white homeowner who shot and seriously injured a Black teenager after he mistakenly went to the man’s house must stand trial.
Missouri’s Clay County Judge Louis Angles issued the ruling on Thursday after hearing from several witnesses at a preliminary hearing, including Ralph Yarl, the teenager who was shot by Andrew Lester on April 13 when he had gone to the wrong house to pick up his younger brothers.
