"NO PRECEDENT": JUDGE DISMISSES ALL CHARGES AGAINST EBONY PARKER, PLUS A MAINE STRANGLING TRIAL AND A LIFE SENTENCE FOR BEAUTY COUCH'S KILLE
Published 7 hours ago
Description
Garret on the Newport News dismissal that ended Ebony Parker's criminal trial before the defense could put on a single witness, a Bangor strangulation trial with an HDMI cord and an interstate police chase, and a life-without-parole sentence in the Atlanta murder of roller-skating influencer Beauty Couch.
Garret Fisher covers a stunning courtroom collapse in Virginia, where a judge dismissed all eight felony child abuse counts against former Richneck Elementary assistant principal Ebony Parker — before the defense ever called a witness — ruling that what prosecutors brought to court is, in her words, 'a mashup of legal theory.' Then to Bangor, Maine, where Richard Thorpe is on trial for strangling his ex-girlfriend Virginia Cookson seven months after he walked out of prison early on a domestic violence sentence. And in Atlanta, Eugene Louis-Jacques was sentenced to life without parole plus twenty years for the murder of twenty-two-year-old roller skating influencer Beauty Couch — stabbed eighty-one times, dumped in the woods, the car set on fire.
