Former Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) officer Johannes Mehserle, who shot Oscar J. Grant III, appeared in the East Fork Justice Court on Wednesday in Minden, Nevada.
Mehserle waived extradition to California and was being held without bail on a warrant charging homicide. According to reports, Mehserle was in Nevada because he feared for his safety after death threats were made against him.
Grant’s family has filed a $25 million legal claim against BART, signaling an intention to sue for damages. The family’s attorney, John Burris, said that he was pleased to hear of Mehserle’s arrest:
“If it’s true, the family is delighted, and it will really help with the healing process,” Burris said. “This is also very important for the community. This had to occur; it was almost a no-brainer. I think the district attorney ought to be commended for moving (the case) expeditiously.”

Why do we only riot when a white man kills a black man? we kill each other everyday and no one say anything? why now do we wanna march and riot?
Did he say why he shot the boy?
I mean, dude was flat on his back and he was in no way a threat, then he just stood up and shot him….
i woulda sued the B*STARD for triple what they did.
taking an innocent life, and using his “policeman authorities” to cover it up.
