Acquitted: 1 of 3 Girls Accused of Trying to Shove Kentucky Teen Cheyenne Williams Off Cliff
The unnamed suspect who was charged as the third accomplice, along with 18-year-olds Corinne Schwab and Ashley Sams, in allegedly trying to push off a cliff lesbian Kentucky Jackson County High School student Cheyenne Williams in April was acquitted Monday by a judge who didn’t even bother hearing the defense’s side of things.
The girl, who was underage at the time (but is now legally an adult), will now wait to see if Schwab and Sams get the same verdict; they head to trial Thursday on charges of attempted murder and kidnapping, where prosecutors will rely on the same evidence, including a cell phone video of the incident.
Says the cleared suspect’s attorney Sharon K. Allen Gay: “For the past four months the juvenile has not only faced the false accusations made by Cheyenne Williams, but also the judgment of all those individuals who heard the allegations and presumed the juvenile to be guilty. We are thankful that the criminal justice system still works, and that the truth has come out.”
You know, the Kentucky call-outs are unnecessary here. Plenty of hardworking, intelligent members of society have come out of the colleges and universities down there. Fighting one stereotype with another never helps any cause.
On the actual topic, some friends those girls were. Absolute trash. A hate crime is a hate crime, and this one took it a step further with attempted murder. It’s absolutely insane, and frustrating that they’ll probably get off without any punishment.

Yes. They’re out of the colleges and universities and they’re not there anymore. They’re in places that are not backwater hate states.

Stop hating on Kentucky- its obvious every commenter above has never set foot there. Louisville is a progressive community full of art and culture, (think Portland, Oregon in middle America) and Lexington has one of the biggest gay populations per capita in the nation.
It’s the idiots in rural Kentucky that give it a bad rep. Every state in middle America has this. It’s just a shame that these stories have to give Kentucky a bad name when its 2 most populated areas are not only gay friendly, but decent places to live with high quality of life.

Haterosexual injustice. Expect all these haterosexual girls to get off free of punishment because in their minds the lesbian had it coming because she looks like a man and her life is not worth punishing these haterosexual girls.
