GRA: Three updates on this story—which was from 2015.

“judge slams victims for tot’s ‘black men’ fear”

(courier-journal) “Jordan and Tommy Gray’s 3-year-old daughter was watching spongeBob when two armed men broke into their home near buechel on March 21, 2013, and robbed them at gunpoint.

“two years later, when one of the offenders was about to be sentenced, Jordan wrote in a victim impact statement that her daughter was still ‘in constant fear of black men.’ both robbers were african-American.

“‘Whenever we are running errands, if we come across a black male, she holds me tight and begs me to leave,’ the mother said. ‘It has affected her friendships at school and our relationships with african-American friends.’

“Tommy Gray also wrote that since the crime, his daughter had been terrified of black males and that probation was not sufficient punishment for Gregory Wallace, 27, who had pleaded guilty to robbery.

“‘If holding a little girl at gunpoint gets you probation, then our system is flawed,’ Gray said.

“But when Wallace was brought up for sentencing Feb. 4 in jefferson circuit court, it was the parents, not Wallace, who suffered judge Olu Stevens’ wrath.

“‘I am offended. … I am deeply offended that they would be victimized by an individual and express some kind of fear of all black men,’ he said.

“‘This little girl certainly has been victimized, and she can’t help the way she feels,’ he said. ‘My exception is more with her parents and their accepting that kind of mentality and fostering those type of stereotypes.’

“The Grays were not in court as Stevens denounced their statements and granted probation to Wallace, whom he said deserved the opportunity to redeem himself.”

GRA: More to come.
