Frederick teen put on probation for attack that cost eye
A Frederick County Circuit Court judge placed a 17 year old on probation after he admitted assaulting George Kolawole last year at Frederick High School, an act that cost Kolawole his eye and delayed his U S Army plans. Ira Rollins, the injured teen, underwent corneal transplant surgeries with medical costs exceeding 47 900 dollars. Clarice Rollins wrote of her son’s pain and forgiveness, saying hate has no place in healing and noting the prosthetic eye costing 2200 dollars requires ongoing care.
