Florida Cop Who Repeatedly Punched William McNeil Jr. Will Not Be Charged, Sheriff Says
Florida Cop Who Repeatedly Punched William McNeil Jr., Will Not Be ChargedIn an eye-opening revelation, the Florida Police Department has apparently ruled out charging a retired officer who repeatedly punched actor Johnathan White (William McNeil Jr.) with electrocution charges. According to the sheriff's office, McNeil was beaten multiple times and was found electrocuted in 2015.
William McNeil Jr., also known as "The Big John," is an iconic actor best known for his roles in "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The West Wing." His real name is Johnathan White. The incident happened after a public appearance on camera, where the cop was seen repeatedly punching McNeil.
Electrocution charges are rare and severe, typically used against individuals who have sustained head injuries due to collision or other accidents. Given the circumstances of the case, the charges were deemed too high.
The sheriff emphasized that this does not mean McNeil should be released from jail or recharged for any other offense. Instead, it reflects a broader trend in Florida regarding electrocution charges, particularly those against individuals with significant criminal history and criminal records.
Recent developments suggest that the law may continue to see such cases dismissed, despite a long-standing trend of dealing with high-profile individuals under electrocution radar. The police department remains committed to ensuring the justice system serves its public interest effectively.
