Andrew Lester, 84, on Wednesday again pled not guilty to charges of shooting and injuring a Black teen after the teen mistakenly went to Lester’s home in April. The case is set to proceed to a jury next year.

Lester is accused in the April shooting of Ralph Yarl, 17, which drew national attention as protesters gathered around Lester’s Kansas City, Missouri, home demanding justice for Yarl. President Joe Biden called Yarl, who was 16 at the time of the shooting, wishing him a swift recovery.
