Carlishia Hood and her 14-year-old son were shocked when they were released after first-degree murder charges against them were dropped on June 26th. The Chicago mother had been accused of the death of Jeremy Brown, 32, who had threatened her at a Maxwell Street Express restaurant and punched her in the head.
The incident had been captured on video that showed Brown being shot and killed by Hood's son after he had been sent by her to help. Initially, a judge ruled that both mother and son had committed first-degree murder, but after further investigation the State Attorney's Office found they had been acting in self-defense and the charges were dropped.
Since then, Carlishia Hood has been planning to sue, according to CBS News. The family had raised over $10,000 in donations on GiveSendGo to help cover the cost of her $3 million bail and her son's legal costs, but these funds are now being refunded as the charges have been dropped. The campaign page has now been marked as 'unpublished', and the mother and son are now free to continue with their lives.
