The three Kentucky teens accused of beating Cheyenne Williams, a gay classmate, and attempting to throw her off a cliff are claiming Williams was a willing participant in the "hoax," and say they can prove it.
Attorneys for Ashley Sams, Korin Schwab and a 17-year-old, whose identity is not being released because she is a juvenile, dispute Williams' claim that the alleged attack was hate crime, pointing to the video of the incident that Williams had the presence of mind to record on her cell phone.
"I have seen the video I will not comment on what it shows. Other than to say that is what I base my opinion on [that] it was staged and the victim was a willing participant," Sharon Allen Gray, who represents Sams told CBS affiliate WYMT.
Defense attorneys asked for a preliminary hearing in the case on Thursday and Gray said she looks forward to the truth about the case coming out then.
Williams told authorities that Sams, Schwab and a 17-year-old classmate assaulted her April 16 and tried to push her off a cliff.
