“Isabelle, who has a juvenile record that includes a conviction on misdemeanor theft, signed a written confession police said.”
ABC is covering up for him. “That includes” means there were other offenses, which I am sure were more violent than “misdemeanor theft,” which itself would have been plea-bargained down from something like felony robbery.
Note, too, that the news readers speaks of “his alleged victim,” while reporting that Isabelle signed a confession, and that the victim had to be hospitalized overnight with a concussion. Not “alleged”; just his victim! This is surely in response to pressure since last summer from the Friends of Black Felons.
This is one case where the apple fell far from the tree. So often today, young felons’ mothers lie for them (Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, et al.), but this felon’s mom wasn’t having any of that. While I of course feel sorry for the victim, I also feel sorry for the perp’s mom, which I rarely do, these days.
Mom recognizes son, 15, in CTA Blue Line sex assault photos, CPD says

CHICAGO (WLS) --
Deshawn Isabelle, 15, is charged as an adult in connection with a robbery and sexual assault on a CTA Blue Line train. He is being held on a $1 million bond.
In court Thursday, prosecutors said Isabelle's mother recognized him from surveillance photos and took him to the police station to turn himself in.
In court Thursday, prosecutors said surveillance video from the CTA Blue Line train shows Isabelle grabbing the 41-year-old woman from behind, sexually assaulting her and robbing her around 3 p.m. Monday on a CTA Blue Line train near the Oak Park stop.
"The defendant continued to punch victim repeatedly about her head, face and body. Defenden repeatedly kicked victim and stomped on her while making monetary demands of the victim," Joe DiBella, assistant state's attorney, said.
The defendant allegedly stuck his hands inside the woman's jeans and penetrated her sexually, prompting the sexual assault charge. The two were the only passengers in that train car, prosecutors said, and the offender is seen exiting at Cicero.
He took the woman's iPhone, prosecutors said, and $2,000 in cash the victim was going to wire to her family in Thailand.
"Defendant indicated he used the money he took to spend on junk food, his high school graduation costs, and Air Jordan jumpsuits," DiBella said.
Isabelle, who has a juvenile record that includes a conviction on misdemeanor theft, signed a written confession police said.
The victim was hospitalized overnight with a concussion, official said.
Evil monster. 15 years old. This is the type of crime that used to be strictly the purview of the hardened con. NO MORE!
ReplyDeleteSpent the money partially on junk food. They done loves junk foo'.
This disgusting horrific crime should open eyes, and give caution when boarding a train. Always avoid empty train cars and "colorful"characters. This poor woman's family should set up a go fund me cause in order to retrieve some of that cash. The poor soul probably had to do a lot of nails and deal with gross feet in order to save that money. Then along comes a violent degenerate terrorist who almost killed the woman.
ReplyDeleteThe mother may have turned him in because she probably thought he could have leverage for a lesser sentence. She knew that someone would recognize him and the word would get out. He had distinctive clothing on, not the usual dark hoodie. It was reported that the mother totally went off on the prosecutor.
ReplyDelete"Confessed everything'-but- murder,"Deshawn Isabelle, absolutely right! This vile predator needs to be charged with attempted murder. His mother was on tv looking very ghetto while screaming at the prosecutor. What kind of world do we live in when one has to be apprehensive about boarding a train in the afternoon?
ReplyDeleteBefore I read the comments I thought the same thing. The photo is so good that many people including Whites would have recognized the black monster, so the mammy was just trying to get some slack for her slimeball she "raised".
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I cared a little less about this crime when I read the part about victim wiring money to her family on Thailand.
ReplyDeleteNon-white on non-white crime is not as bad as non-white on white crime.
