Jackson County Teen Beating Going To Grand Jury
KENTUCKY....
Cheyenne Williams, an admitted gay senior at Jackson County High School, says she won't return to school this year after three classmates tried to kill her. Dee Johnson says she feels her daughter, who has enough credits to graduate, would not be safe if she returns. Williams told authorities that 18 year old Ashley Sams of Annville, 18 year old Corinne Schwab and a 17-year-old classmate kidnapped and assaulted her on April 16th and tried to push her off a cliff. Sams and Schwab are charged with kidnapping and attempted murder. Williams' mother is calling the attack a hate crime. Detective Joie Peters plans to present the case to a grand jury.
