Charges Dropped Against Teen in Beating Death

Charges of first-degree murder against one of four Illinois teenagers involved in the beating and death of a student were dropped on Monday. The fight was recorded on a cell phone camera. Eugene Bailey, eighteen, of Chicago, was arrested on September 26th, two days after sixteen-year-old Derrion Albert was killed during a fight after class at Christian Fenger Academy High School in South Boston.

Prosecutors dropped the charge on Monday, saying “While the charge against Bailey was brought in good faith based on witness accounts and identifications, additional information has developed during the ongoing investigation that warranted dismissal of the murder charge against Bailey at this time.”
