The MAGA octogenarian who in 2023 shot a Black Kansas City teenager in the head for the crime of approaching the wrong house pleaded guilty to second-degree assault on Friday, the AP reports.
Andrew Lester, 86, was scheduled to stand trial next week on charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action in the shooting of the then-16 year-old honor student Ralph Yarl, who survived and is now a freshman at Texas A&M and a member of ROTC as well as the school’s marching band.
Lester was in a wheelchair for the plea hearing. He faces up to seven years in the joint next month, though obviously nobody should expect much if any real time for an immobile convict.
