Shanquella Robinson: Prosecutors Say Evidence ‘Does Not Support’ Charges
Written by SOURCE on April 12, 2023
Findings from a federal investigation into the death of Shanquella Robinson were revealed on Wednesday. Per the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices in both the Middle and Western Districts of North Carolina, currently available evidence in the case “does not support” prosecution at the federal level.
“As in every case under consideration for federal prosecution, the government must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a federal crime was committed,” a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of North Carolina reads. “Based on the results of the autopsy and after a careful deliberation and review of the investigative materials by both U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, federal prosecutors informed Ms. Robinson’s family today that the available evidence does not support a federal prosecution.”
Per federal officials, a meeting with Robinson’s family was held on Wednesday to discuss these findings.
