The trial of two teenage girls accused of causing the death of homeless man Kenneth Lee began with testimony from shelter worker Melissa Alexander. She described a disturbing scene where the girls, aged 14 and 16, were seen attacking Lee, who had blood covering his face. Although Alexander intervened and called for an ambulance, she expressed disbelief at Lee's death the following day, stating there were no obvious signs of critical injury. Her testimony raised questions regarding the immediate dangers perceived during the incident and the girls' intentions.
Alexander described the scene as 'a group of girls kicking, stomping and spitting on someone, like predators attacking their prey,' highlighting the brutal nature of the incident.
Under cross-examination, Alexander noted, 'There was no indication Lee was critically injured,' which raises questions about the perceived severity of the situation at the time.
She expressed shock upon learning the next day that Kenneth Lee had died, emphasizing the unexpected turn of events from that tragic night.
After recounting the chaotic scene, she clarified, 'I would have acted differently if there had been any indication of a critical injury,' reflecting on her judgment.
