Jeanine Pirro announces charges against two perps in the assault and robbery of big balls Edward Coristine

by

Jeanine Pirro has charged two young men for attacking Edward “Big Balls” Coristine back in August. Coristine, who worked for a government office focused on cutting red tape, was walking a woman to her car in Logan Circle when a group of teens jumped him. They beat him up and tried to steal the car, but ran off when police showed up. Two 15-year-olds were arrested first and got probation, which made a lot of people angry. Now, two adults Laurence Cotton-Powell and Anthony Taylor have been charged with robbery, assault, and trying to steal the car. Video shows they were also part of another fight at a gas station just before the attack. Cotton-Powell has been arrested before but kept getting released. Pirro said this case shows how bad crime has gotten in D.C. and blamed the courts for going too easy on young offenders. President Trump pointed to this attack when he sent the National Guard to the city. The case has become a symbol of how people feel about rising crime and repeat offenders.
