The two women who beat Chrissy Lee Polis, a transgender woman in McDonald's were indicted on hate crime charges the other day.
Here's more:
Teonna Brown, 18, was indicted Monday on assault and hate crime charges in the attack on Chrissy Lee Polis at the restaurant last month. She is also charged with assaulting a customer and a McDonald’s employee who tried to intervene. A 14-year-old girl is facing the same charges in juvenile court. The Associated Press typically does not identify juveniles charged with crimes.While some thinks the jail time is justice, others think counseling and anger management will help the girls stay away from future trouble.
Both teenagers are being held, prosecutors said no one else would be charged.
Brown was defending herself and maintains her innocence, according to attorney Timothy P. Knepp. He declined to go into further detail.
“She’s a very nice young lady who lives with her mom and is not the person the press has made her out to be,” Knepp said.
A videotape of the April 18 beating showed a woman being attacked repeatedly while an employee and customer try to stop them, and the woman apparently having a seizure.
