NO CHARGES IN SACRAMENTO RTD STABBING

By Bob Walsh

 

Rancho Cordova SacRT station
 

Regular readers will recall I wrote about a June 19 stabbing at an RTD station in Rancho Cordova (Sac) that left Michael Ray Berry, 16, death.  

Berry and his female friend were kicked off an RTD vehicle because they were vaping and would not cease and desist.  After they got off the trolley Berry was involved in a physical fight with the security guard.  The guard stabbed Berry.  Berry died.

The D.A. has just decided to NOT prosecute the case due to insufficient evidence and an apparently legit case for self-defense.  The security guard was NOT authorized to be carrying a knife and may be facing unemployment, which is still no doubt better than jail or prison.

In CA, generally speaking, employers are required to accept court rulings in things of this nature regarding peace officers.  I do not know how the employer feels about it with regard to non-peace officers.
