Exclusive: Ralph Yarl, teen shot after mistakenly going to the wrong house, seeks ‘justice’ in civil lawsuit
==========
Ralph Yarl, a Black teenager, has filed a civil lawsuit against Andrew Lester and the Highland Acres Lakeside Heights Homeowners Association in Missouri. Yarl was shot and injured last year when he mistakenly went to the wrong house to pick up his twin brothers. The lawsuit alleges that their 'carelessness' and 'negligence' led to Yarl's permanent injuries. Yarl's attorney, Lee Merritt, stated that Yarl wants justice and to be able to move freely in his community without fear of being criminalized or assaulted. Lester's criminal trial is set to begin on October 7. Yarl suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and his recovery is ongoing. The family is seeking financial compensation and the cost of legal fees through the civil suit.
