Spectator Merrick testifies in violent street brawl case
Lanny Merrick, a property owner with a large family, faced a court for disturbing the peace and felonious assault. He testified that he arrived from his tenth floor apartment to observe the fight and ended up participating, insisting he was mostly a spectator who happened to step into the fray. He claimed he had no intent to fight and blamed others for luring him in. The judge pressed him on why he repeatedly involved himself in such clashes, noting a prior similar charge and Merrick’s claim of peaceful character.
