When police or prosecutors conceal significant exculpatory or impeaching material, we hold, it is ordinarily incumbent on the state to set the record straight. - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Charges against Western Branch student sent to grand jury


CHESAPEAKE

Gun charges against an 18-year-old Western Branch High student have been certified to the grand jury for possible indictments.

Antonio J. Atkins was arrested April 4 after a fellow student told school officials about a gun on school grounds. Officers searched Atkins and found a .22-caliber handgun and ammunition, police said.

A grand jury will hear charges against Atkins for possession of a firearm on school property and possession of a weapon by a felon. A misdemeanor charge of carrying a concealed weapon was dismissed today in Chesapeake General District Court. Atkins, a resident of the 3300 block of Golden Oaks Lane in Western Branch, is being held in the City Jail without bond.


so let me get this right, if you are a felon with a gun on school, you get no bond, however if you are a female charge with rape of a young boy, you get a PR Bond till you trial. I guess this poor kid, whom could be black got the wrong judge to hear his case. Then again the judges must show a strong stand on guns in school while its ok to rape young kids...
