Outrage in Georgia: Black Family Claims Police Shielded White Driver Who Struck 7-Year-Old on Sidewalk as Prosecutor Declines Homicide Charges

Dalton Cason, a 26-year-old white man, was high on fentanyl and cocaine when he fatally struck 7-year-old Logan Sharpe in Georgia last year, as revealed by a toxicology report from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Nevertheless, Pierce County prosecutors opted against filing vehicular homicide charges, despite a Georgia criminal defense attorney asserting that this was warranted under the law. Logan's family only saw Cason charged with a misdemeanor DUI after amplifying their plight on social media, nearly nine months post-incident. Logan’s mother, Shaunte Sharpe, expressed her dismay: “It feels like a slap in our face.” The investigation's integrity is further questioned, as witnesses claim the responding officer manipulated evidence and allowed Cason’s family to tamper with what could have been crucial evidence. Online court records indicate Cason’s trial is set for June 19, emphasizing the family's urgent quest for justice.
