- An October 2024 jury trial was scheduled for an 84-year-old white Missouri man charged for shooting and wounding a Black teenager who had mistakenly walked up to the man's Kansas City - An October 2024 jury trial was scheduled for an 84-year-old white Missouri man charged for shooting and wounding a Black teenager who had mistakenly walked up to the man's Kansas City house in April, after he pleaded not guilty again on Wednesday.
Lester pleaded not guilty at an arraignment six days later, and again on Wednesday in Clay County Circuit Court, where his case was moved in August because the first court could not try felony cases, according to assistant Clay County prosecutor and spokesperson Alexander Higginbotham. The encounter between Lester and Yarl occurred when the teenager walked up to Lester's house late at night by accident, mistaking it for another home nearby with a similar address where Yarl intended to pick up his younger siblings, according to authorities.
Local media, however, reported that court documents indicate Yarl reported to police who interviewed him at the hospital that Lester told him:"Don't come around here."
