Family of Black teenager shot by white man frustrated with prosecutor's handling of case
Preliminary hearing for 84-year-old Andrew Lester set for Aug. 31-Sept. 1
Civil rights attorneys Benjamin Crump and Lee Merritt previously asked Clay County Prosecutor Zachary Thompson to step aside and let Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker be named as a special prosecutor in the case but Thompson refused
Lester admitted to shooting Ralph Yarl through the door without warning because he was "scared to death" he was about to be robbed by the Black person standing at his door
The judge expressed concern that not sealing the documents could lead to witness intimidation and influence the case outcome.
