Two lying black New York college students who claimed to be victims of racist attack expelled

[Oh My Another Coon Crime!]

Two black female college students who claimed to be victims of
an assault by a group of white men and women reportedly were
expelled from the University at Albany.

University at Albany President Robert J. Jones said in an email
to The Albany Times Union Thursday that Ariel Agudio and Asha
Burwell were dismissed from the college. A third student, Alexis
Briggs, was suspended for two years.

Agudio and Burwell were charged with misdemeanor assault and
falsely reporting an incident and Briggs was charged with
misdemeanor assault in February stemming from a January bus
incident. News 10 reported Wednesday all three women pleaded not
guilty to the charges.

The women, all 20 years old, claimed they were attacked early on
the morning of Jan. 30 while riding a bus. They claimed they
were called racial slurs and were physically attacked while
bystanders looked on.

Investigators say a review of multiple videos of the incident
showed no evidence the women were victims of a crime or
subjected to racial slurs. In fact, police said the women were
the aggressors, assaulting a 19-year-old white woman.

Police said surveillance and cellphone video, as well as
eyewitness testimony, contradicted the women's account. The
white men Agudio, Burwell and Briggs claimed assaulted them were
actually trying to break up the fight.

According to the newspaper, the decision to expel the students
came from a student disciplinary board, which is separate from
the criminal justice system. The students didn’t appear for
their March 9 hearing with the student conduct board, claiming a
conflict of interest because the school served as judge in the
board hearings and a witness in the criminal case.

The Times-Union, citing a confidential letter recapping the
hearing, reported that two witnesses to the incident spoke in
the students’ absence.

University Police Inspector Paul Burlingame testified in the
hearing that the women started the fight. He said there was no
evidence to corroborate Burwell’s story that she was assaulted.
He also said because the incident was reported as hate crime the
alleged victims didn’t come forward about the assault in fear
for their safety.

Burlingame testified that they only came to the police once they
learned there was video of the assault.

The school’s vice president of communications and marketing,
Joseph Brennan, was the other witnesses who testified at the
conduct hearing, according to the paper. Brennan said the
students’ actions caused “reputational harm” to the university.

Frederick Brewington, Burwell’s lawyer, told the Times Union
that the testimony against his client was filled with so-called
“Trumpisms.” He said those at the hearing weren’t given evidence
to possibly contradict Burlingame’s account and his client was
unable to defend herself.

At the Albany County Court arraignment Wednesday, prosecutors
said the women were the “perpetrators” in the assault on the
bus, not the victims.

One supporter still contended that the bus video could’ve been
“doctored.”

News 10 reported that the women refused to make a public apology
and the case is now in the hands of a grand jury.
