A few teenagers and younger gather at his house when they shouldn't be there.
They leave when he said because his dad would be home soon. A witness says they were all talking and laughing as they left.
Three hours later he is arrested for violent rape of one of the girls that had been at his house.
The accusation came from first one girl, and then another, and was aimed first at another boy, and then Edison.
Today is Edison's trial (as an adult, on felony charges). He was arrested six months ago. There was no bond. Or corroborating evidence. Or physical evidence that any assault ever took place. An intact hymen, even. But still a 15 year-old has been in adult jail for 6 months.
Because the judge considers the suspicion of an officer enough to keep him locked up, and accusations of things that happened in the past are also under consideration in this case.
Nice, eh? You should be proud, Maryland! You follow boldly in the steps of the great Soviet Socialist Republics with actions like this!
