Last week a woman's baby was shot in Georgia during a mugging. The woman says that she was walking her 13 month old baby in a stroller when two teenage boys approached her and demanded that she give them her money. When she refused, they threatened her baby and shot him in the head.
The police have already arrested two teenage boys and are charging 17 year old De'Marquis Elkins as an adult. Elkins' aunt has said that her nephew was eating breakfast when the murder took place and is innocent.
The police have refuted his alibi, claiming that there is strong evidence that proves Elkins is responsible for the horrific crime, though they have not elaborated. However, with no murder weapon and no other eyewitnesses I wonder what kind of strong evidence there could actually be.
This entire situation, while horrendous and devastating, is definitely bizarre and open ended. The difference in stories definitely makes me wonder why more media outlets aren't asking questions about the murder and are instead solely focusing on Elkins as the murderer, as though he has already been tried and found guilty.
