Q: Can you be punished by law for purposesly beating on a disabled individual.?
If the police won’t do anything when there’s witnesses and it’s happened more than 2x he was specifically targeted because he is autistic what should his mother do to get justice for him being assaulted because the police department is treating him as if what these boys did was ok

Q: Is evidence of a crime required for an indictment against someone?
Yes, but not a lot of evidence. The government has to convince the grand jury there is probable cause to believe the offense occurred and the accused committed. That equates to some reason to think the accused may have done something. Considerably more evidence is required to obtain a conviction.
