In another stunning development in the case of Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney, Monday’s hearing for his assault and battery charges resulted in the announcement by Kearney that those charges were being withdrawn by the prosecution.
Reporter Grant Smith Ellis reported:
UPDATE;
— Grant Smith Ellis (@GrantSmithEllis) February 26, 2024
Because Kearney was indicted on 2 new felonies last week in the Superior Court (on charges of felony wiretapping and felony witness interference), a single charge for Mr. Kearney's still in district court was null prossed today.
This means Kearney's total charges are…
Turtleboy had been accused of assaulting his then girlfriend in December by shoving her onto a couch during a struggle over her telephone. Based on the new charges, Turtleboy’s bond was revoked for the multiple felonies he faced in relation to the Karen Read murder trial.
According to Smith-Ellis’ reporting, it appears as if the dismissal was a procedural issue as Turtleboy was indicted for two new felonies last week and all of his charges had been moved from District Court to Superior Court, with the assault and battery/domestic violence charge being dropped in that process.
Turtleboy still faces 18 felonies and misdemeanors in Superior Court and it is unclear if the domestic violence charges will be moved to Superior Court or dropped completely.
Fans of Turtleboy celebrated with the blogger outside of the courthouse, with Turtleboy himself declaring that he believed members of the prosecution and police may be in jail by the time of his next hearing on April 23, 2024.
This is a breaking news story.
