Kada Scott matters.

She was kind....

Contagious smile...

--LE

 

[Megnut]

Her legacy -- show kindness.

--LE

 

[Tealgrove]

So much potential. Who knows what she would have accomplished in her lifetime.

This guy makes me sick!

 

[Megnut]

LE is opening a drive -- for care items for Kada's mom -- for her family -- for her teenage sister --

 

[Megnut]

Opportunity for the City of Philadelphia to reflect Kada's kindness back to her family.

... while we work on justice....

-- LE

 

[Megnut]

LE opening for questions, reminding journalists that Kada's family is present.

 

[Megnut]

DA acknowledges they didn't handle the previous case well. [My paraphrase]

 

[Megnut]

Tip was specific -- go back.

Was cellphone contact between the two but LE won't say more.

Tip was anonymous, they don't know who called it in. They're investigating.

DA is reporting that the remains are Kada's. [Making note because just the DA confirmed it.]

[Megnut]

There will be more charges...

Plus arson of the car is a separate case.

Separate cases, separate arraignment.

[Megnut]

Car is stolen on the 3rd

[Megnut]

Arson charge is conspiracy. LE is not saying who may have helped.

911 call about a car on fire.

Car was destroyed (by fire) and already compacted by the wreckage company.

[Megnut]

Video of Honda and Toyota on cctv -- believe the drivers were working together.

They have an abundance of cctv.

(Reference the car arson.)

[tlcya]

praying for Kada's family. A bright beautiful promising young woman. So senseless.

 

[Megnut]

DA says he wasn't criticizing judges but bail itself. [Regarding the withdrawn case.]

Bail system is broke.

Buck stops here. Things could have been done better. Looking at changes that can be made. Systemic.

[Megnut]

DA says the Commonwealth needs to "stop making money on bail".

Bail system is broken [implication -- low bail, victims afraid to testify even defendant is out]

[Megnut]

Waiting on cause and manner of death.

Reporter: but you're preparing homicide charges?

LE: Fair statement.

https://phl17.com/phl17-news/da-krasner-update-on-suspect-in-kada-scotts-disappearance/

 

[Megnut]

DA is not a fan of cash bail. He believed it puts the community at risk.

Wants no cash bail in order to hold individual with serious charges.

[Lebowski]

I think Keon bragged about what he had done. Whoever he talked to wasn’t entirely on board and alerted LE.

MOO

he does seem to have the complete lack of impulse control that leads to stupidly running one's mouth

 

[Megnut]

LE believes Keon King's phone puts him at the location they expect him to be at at certain times.
