Some hours ago, mainstream media sources named the second (alleged) attacker of Minneapolis mayoral candidate Mark Andrew as Deea Leshawn Elliott, a juvenile. 

In a story that made national news, 63-year-old Andrew was robbed of his cell phone at Mall of America and then jumped by two female accomplices. But Andrew fought back, causing the arrest of both of his attackers and, incredibly, his cell phone was recovered, as well. 

The mainstream media appear to be writing their story off this charging document (click here), but withholding many facts contained in the document. It is, however, the bread and butter of this blog to reveal a more granular level of factual detail neglected by the mainstream media. 

Few stories will illustrate the difference between mainstream media and this blog like THIS story...

If you haven't already read the dramatic story of how second place Minneapolis mayoral candidate Mark Andrew confronted and battled with a trio of cell phone thieves at Mall of America, click here for the Star Tribune article or (if you dislike annoying Star Tribune pop-ups as much as this blogger) click here for the  CBS Minnesota story.

Andrew had his cell phone snatched while sitting at Starbucks in MOA, a place where I have often sat with my own teenage son; both of us occupied with our laptops. When Mark Andrew ran after the youth that snatched the cell phone, two other youth got into a physical altercation with him, apparently trying to cut off Andrew's pursuit. Andrew was struck in the head with some kind of metal baton and required stitches but his two assailants, 17 and 18, were arrested. The baton may have been a collapsable metal "asp" type like that found in the purse of the younger alleged assailant.

The cell phone was dropped by the thief and returned by a passerby. Passersby were otherwise too fearful to get involved in the incident.

Here, linked, is a criminal complaint in the possession of the Star Tribune for Letaija Shapree Cutler-Cain, (DOB 11/7/95) the older of the two accused assailants. For some reason the Star Tribune saw fit to redact her address so JNS blog will be correcting that little error in journalistic judgment, as follows...
