Anonymous wrote:...It was revealed on Wednesday that Matthew also has a long list of previous charges against him - from assault and grand larceny to trespassing and being in possession of stolen property.

Online court records showed that Matthew was convicted of trespassing in 2010 but provide no details about the incident.

He also faces a slew of traffic violations, according to WSLS.

In June 2009, Matthew allegedly assaulted someone during an attempted theft of a cell phone but the charges were later dropped.

Totally agree. The PC folks are way out of control on this one. He looks guilty because of his actions!

A PP here. I think that a lot of people (White people) in this thread are missing the point that some PP's are trying to make. I do not think that any of us can say definitively whether he is innocent or guilty based on what the police have released so far. What people are trying to say is that his flight is not evidence of guilt to them. In other words, folks are rebutting the whole "innocent people don't flee" premise. What we are saying is that, under certain circumstances, innocent people do flee and we need more facts to say he is absolutely without a doubt guilty.

More than anything, I want peace and closure for HER family.

But if he's black he knows that the scales of justice will never tip in his favor.

Does the name OJ Simpson mean anything to you?

I agree with everyone's right to their own opinion, as long as they are based on facts. The above is not that.

From the bottom of this article http://seattletimes.com/html/nationworld/2024621469_apxmissinguvastudent.html :

"Online court records show Matthew was convicted of trespassing in 2010 but provide no details about the incident. Details also were unavailable for two other charges of assault and attempted grand larceny relating to a 2009 incident that were not prosecuted. Matthew, who had a taxi permit from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles from 2007 through 2010, also has several traffic infractions, records show."

Actually you don't get to dictate whether people chose to be "fact-based" on not, it's called freedom of speech.

It doesn't take a lot to meet the probable cause evidence test to be able to charge someone. They charged him with that so that they would be able to arrest him and then have him held without bond. The reckless driving charges would not have been enough to keep him held with no bond.

I hope all the people who are assuming he is guilty have to come face to face with the justice system one day and then suddenly remember that in this country we are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, and not the other way around.

True, but his ACTIONS lead many to believe that he is guilty of something. Why run if you have nothing to hide?
