The lawyer said he’s baffled that prosecutors pursued the case and that a youth judge oversaw a sentence that included probation and requiring the child to write a report about Kobe Bryant.

A 10-year-old Black child in Mississippi who urinated in public in August was sentenced Tuesday in youth court to three months’ probation, a decision the child’s attorney says was influenced by race.

Quantavious Eason, who is in the third grade, was arrested by Senatobia police Aug. 10 after a police officer saw him relieving himself outside next to his mom’s car when the woman was inside an attorney’s office, according to family attorney Carlos Moore.

Given the circumstances, any child would have done the same thing, Moore said. He noted there was no public restroom at the attorney’s office.

          Eh but if the kid doesn’t see him is there really any harm in that? Obviously you don’t arrest your mark, that’s the first rule of Schrödingers Pedo.

          No you’re doing it wrong you actually have to say “he definitely did this thing, but I’m just asking questions.”

          It has the same tone as “I’m not racist but…”
