This was a tragedy, but charges should never have been brought against these juveniles, and releasing their identities is unconscionable.
Grady Judd is nothing but a fucking grandstander, and I hope they sue his ass right out of the Sheriff's office.
Prosecutors have dropped charges against two girls accused of cyberbullying 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick of Lakeland until she committed suicide, attorneys for the girls said Tuesday.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd had his deputies arrest the girls in October on felony aggravated-stalking charges in a case that garnered national attention.
On Tuesday, an attorney for the younger girl, who turned 13 in October, had harsh words for Judd.
Jose Baez, speaking at a news conference outside his Orlando office, called the sheriff's conduct "unconscionable," "reckless" and "reprehensible" and criticized him for talking about the case on national television and distributing arrest photos of the girls.
"He should get a lawyer and a darn good one, 'cause he's going to need it," said Baez, who called upon Judd to publicly apologize.
