Although Johannes Mehserle was released for the killing of Oscar Grant case he is now pending a new case for an incident that happened just weeks before the fatal shooting of Oscar Grant III at BART Fruitvale station. According to Kenneth Carrethers Mehserle and other BART officers assaulted him Nov. 15, 2008 at the Coliseum/Oakland airport station and are now seeking damages. Kenneth claims after a verbal exchange with Mehserle and other BART officers he was tackled and arrested and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment. The charges for Carrethers were dimissed by the Alamed County District Attorney's Office in February 2009. However after serving a two year sentence in prison for the Oscar Grant incident Mehserle is now expected to testify in civil trial for the Carrethers case November 22, 2011. This new trial is surprising to a lot of people and has a lot of minds racing on new thoughts about what really happened during the Oscar Grant case. The fact that Mehserle got away with the Carrethers incident for a short while is leaving the public thinking why he is not a convicted by now. Although on the other some of society might think why is this individual just now coming forward with information on his accusations? I think Mehserle should be convicted on the Oscar Grant case because even though the allegations on him in the Carrethers case or late it still shows that Mehserle is a rather violent person and that the harm caused on Grant may have been intentional after all.
