Leroy Davis-Miles Attacked Elderly Man Who Asked Him To Quiet Down
2019-11-10
[MINNESOTA.CBSLOCAL] Leroy Davis-Miles, 23, is charged in connection to a life-threatening assault of an elderly man Wednesday afternoon in south Minneapolis.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s office says Davis-Miles and his friends followed the 75-year-old victim off of a Metro Transit bus at about 2:45 p.m. after the man asked them to stop talking so loud.

-Lake Transit Center appears to show Davis-Miles, whose face was off-camera, lunge at the victim as if to strike him. The man then falls back and hits his head on the pavement. The county attorney’s office says the victim may not survive from the head injury he suffered.

Footage also appears to show Davis-Miles shaking hands with friends after the attack, before some of them started to search through the victim’s pockets.

Investigators used facial recognition software to help identify Davis-Miles from the bus’s footage, and also matched his clothing and wristband from the two separate video sources. Those items were later found inside the suspect’s residence.

Davis-Miles was arrested on Thursday and charged Friday with first-degree assault. His first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday. He could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

The victim, who has not been identified, is at death's door at Hennepin Healthcare.

#3  Looking at the Hire Ex-Felons page, we see this:
Sentence Date:
10/23/2017
Current Offense Information
Highest Ranked Offense:
Assault


Sentenced at the end of October in 2017, some jail time, and now in 2019, he is back in business. Sounds like he doesn't quite have the 'ex' part of ex-felon quite worked out. And that is really the crux of the matter when it comes to hiring: was this a one-time event or part of a behavior pattern?

People focus on the punishment aspect of jail time, but equally important, IMAO, is that the miscreants are taken out of circulation and no longer around to bother the more well-behaved citizens.

Don't get me started on the currently popular "mass incarceration" nonsense!
