VICTIM'S COMPLAINT
Robin McNeill is the legal custodian of her grandson, QM. The nature of the complaint is as follows.
1. Jeffrey Yingling, an adult white male, assaulted QM by chasing him with his truck in an attempt to strike him. As the frightened and exhausted boy attempted to safeguard himself from being struck by Mr. Yingling's truck, Mr. Yingling shouted at the child: "You're a liar Nigger . . . . lay down in front of the truck nigger so I can run you over." The child was terrified and did not move from up against the school building until Mr. Yingling drove off chasing QM's friend.
2. Robin McNeill attempted to file charges against Mr. Yingling on behalf of her grandson, however, the municipal court clerk refused to accept the complaint, stating that she was advised by the prosecutor that there were not going to be any additional charges filed against Mr. Yingling.Accordingly, the only charges allowed to go forward were traffic offenses under Title 39 of the New Jersey Statutes.
3. Despite numerous requests to be present in municipal court when the motor vehicle charges against Mr. Yingling were to be heard because her grandson QM, was a witness and a victim, Ms. McNeill did not recieve any notices. The charges were ultimately dismissed by the municipal prosecutor; the reason given was that the police officer who had issued the summonses was not available the particular night that the case was on the calender to be heard. QM and others were witnesses against Mr. Yingling; however they were never notified or subpoenaed to appear in courtto testify as eyewitnesses.
4. Mr. Yingling recieved favorable treatment by the justice system as a result of his relationship with officials within the Plainfield community and Union County officials.
5. QM's rights under Article 1, section 22 of the NJ Constitution, to be treated with fairness, compassion, and respect by the criminal justice system were denied! He was a victim of both Mr. Yingling and the criminal justice system!
