Gag order lifted in teen beating; sheriff speaks out:
The gag order has been lifted in the beating case of Victoria Lindsay.
Outspoken sheriff Grady Judd is saying that there was a lot more behind the attack than a mere $4.
Sheriff Judd also said that the media attention on the story would have died down by now if it wasn’t for the gag order.
New Details in Teen Beating Case Released:
Now the story goes that the reason behind the beating of Victoria Lindsay was because she owed $4 to Mercades Nichols according to documents released by prosecutors.
If that’s the case I wonder what Nichols wanted the $4 for.
Nichols’ grandmother also comments on the beating in the article.
Also, Stephen Schumaker changed his story when it came to putting it on tape. He now claims he wasn’t even there.
Beating Suspect’s Ex-Beau Got Injunction:
Well, well well. It seems that the alleged ringleader in the beating of Victoria Lindsay has had a run-in with the law before.
An ex-boyfriend of Mercades Nichols had once obtained an injunction against Nichols for violence against him and threatening violence. She was arrested for violating the injunction by sending him text messages and getting one of the other suspects, Brittni Hardcastle, to bring the victim a Valentine’s Day present.
It sounds like somebody’s precious little snowflake has anger and possession issues.
Man gets 90 days in jail assaulting teen met on Myspace:
Pete Solis has pleaded out to a 90-day sentence for sexually assaulting a teenage girl he met on MySpace. Solis was looking at federal charges if he did not agree to the plea. Solis will be a registered sex offender.
If his name sounds familiar it’s because his victim was ‘Julie Doe’ whose mother failed at suing MySpace for $30M.
Attackers Bought Victim Drinks At CVS After Videotaping Beating:
More from the story that refuses to die.
According to the article Victoria Lindsay was taken to a local CVS after her infamous beating. Some of her attackers allegedly apologized and bought her drinks.
Did they think they were ‘all good’ now? Because you know the proper response to trash talk is a beating by 6 people. That’s sarcasm by the way.

Man sentenced for having sex with minor he met on MySpace:
Back in October I posted about the arrest of 30-year-old Michael David Gray of Grover Beach, California. He was arrested for having sex with a 15-year-old girl that he met over MySpace and supplying her with drugs. All sorts of people came out of the woodwork defending Mr. Gray saying there’s no way the charges of true because he’s not capable of such a heinous act.
Well, the court seems to disagree as he was sentenced to 60-days behind bars for unlawful sexual intercourse, aka statutory rape. He’ll also have three years of probation and 20 hours of community service. He also can not have any drugs or alcohol or have any contact with the girl.
Gloria Allred to represent videotaped beating victim:
From the ‘Nothing good can come of this’ department comes the latest about beating victim Victoria Lindsay.
Her parents have allegedly hired famed feminist attorney Gloria Allred.
I commend Ms. Allred for taking this case because I am sure she is doing it pro-bono. However, I’m leery of attorneys with an obvious agenda. For everyone’s sake, I hope Ms. Allred puts her client’s well-being ahead of her agenda.
Beating victim’s family fears fake web pages:
The family of Victoria Lindsay is saying that there is no official support page and that there are dozens of fakes popping up. Some are even asking for financial support.
They say they don’t want to give the impression that Victoria doesn’t need support, but sending messages, or even financial help to the wrong places is no help at all.
“I feel like she is being victimized again, but in a different way,” her stepmom Talisa Lindsay told FOX 13 at her home on Sunday.
Remember kids, not everything on the internet is true.
Dr. Phil Show Bails Out Teen Charged in Vicious YouTube Attack:
The Dr. Phil show is now stating that the representative that bailed out Mercades Nichols violated the show’s rules and they will not be going forward with that story.
“In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines (re the bail being paid). These staff members have been spoken to and our policies reiterated. In addition, we have decided not to go forward with the story as our guidelines have been compromised,” the statement read.
Uh-huh. Sure. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the court of public opinion coming down on them like a ton of bricks.
