TL;DR Summary

The grandson of Andrew Lester, the Kansas City homeowner who shot Ralph Yarl after the Black teenager had mistakenly gone to the wrong home, believes police should have acted sooner to arrest his grandfather. Lester's grandson, Klint Ludwig, said he blames the Kansas City Police Department for failing to act the day of the shooting and is glad that the backlash to their inaction has led to charges. Lester pleaded not guilty Wednesday to felony counts of assault in the first degree and armed criminal action, and could face a maximum sentence of life in prison.
