M50o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr Teen Beat On Tape, Mom Suing Sheriff’s Office

Published: Tue, July 22, 2008 - 10:42 am

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) - The mother of one of the teens accused in
the videotaped beating of a central Florida girl has filed a notice
to sue the Polk County Sheriff for making defamatory remarks.

Seventeen-year-old Mercades Nichols and four other teen girls
were arrested in April and accused of attacking 16-year-old
Victoria Lindsay. The attack was recorded on video and broadcast
around the world.

The girls were charged with kidnapping and misdemeanor battery.

Nichols' mother has filed a notice to sue Sheriff Grady Judd for
failing to handle the arrest of the teens "with integrity and a
degree of care" that would have protected them "against unfair
treatment and exposure."

The sheriff's office has six months to respond to the notice.

I’ve seen the extended footage of this brutal beating. Tori never faught back and just kept crying and apologizing, saying she was drunk when she made the statements against these girls, and that’s when they brutally attacked her. The kind of person who brutally jumps a girl who is apologizing deserves to go to jail and deserves “unfair treatment and exposure.” Nicols looks to be at least 175 pounds, and that poor Tori girl might weigh 100 pounds in soaking wet clothes. Talk about “unfair!”

“against unfair treatment and exposure.” This is just stupid she put the video on the internet on Youtube. She wanted attention and she got it.

Gee , The sheriff didn’t treat her little girl with integrity and a degree of care ! HOW SAD ! Maybe the sheriff can add that charge to her little girl for her beating of the victim .
