Update: Since we created the video and transcript below, Tift County District Attorney Patrick Warren has doppped charges against Chandler-Scott, stating “Prosecution is not legally sustainable and not in the interest of justice.” The DA’s office had advised law enforcement to wait until full medical findings were complete before moving forward.
