Trial date set for Kansas City homeowner charged after shooting Black teen

Defendant Andrew Lester was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action for shooting Ralph Yarl, 16, on the doorstep of his suburban home on April 13. Lester pleaded not guilty at an arraignment six days later, and again on Wednesday in Clay County Circuit Court, where his case was moved in August because the first court could not try felony cases, according to assistant Clay County prosecutor and spokesperson Alexander Higginbotham. Lester faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted of first-degree assault, and up to 15 years in prison for the armed criminal action charge.
