How liberal media IGNORED Brianna Kupfer's killer's enormous rap sheet

Daily Mail  

Left-leaning news outlets ignored the lengthy criminal history of Brianna Kupfer's alleged killer in their coverage - and even omitted his mugshot from their homepages. CBS News's homepage showed a picture of Brianna Kupfer but not her alleged attacker under a headline that focused on the text message she sent a friend saying she had a bad vibe about someone in the furniture store she worked at on the day of her murder ABC News's homepage used a photograph of Brianna shown at a police press conference but not her alleged assailant - a man who police say is Shawn Laval Smith, who has a lengthy rap sheet NBC showed the story on Wednesday morning under their 'latest news tab' on their landing page but with no emphasis on photographs of Shawn Laval Smith Brianna Kupfer, 24, was killed in a random attack last Thursday while she was working alone in in a Los Angeles furniture store. The New York Post detailed criticisms of Gascon, and made mention of Smith's lengthy criminal history Fox News also zeroed in on Smith's rap sheet, and spoke with a prosecutor who believes progressive district attorneys are jeopardizing public safety DailyMail.com revealed Tuesday that Smith was arrested in Covina, California, on October 27, 2020, on a charge of possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor. Smith has a prolific criminal record, with dozens of prior charges in North Carolina and South Carolina Smith is seen in Charleston, South Carolina mugshots in June 2013 for possession of marijuana, in July 2013 for littering on the highways, and in September 2013 for disorderly conduct Smith is seen in Charleston mugshots in July 2015 on charges of driving without a license, expired registration, and careless driving; March 1, 2016 on charges of trespassing; March 5, 2016 on charges of trespassing and resisting arrest Smith is seen in Charleston mugshots in November 2018 on charge of contempt of court; March 2019 on charges of entering a premises after warning; June 2019 on charges of entering a premises after warning; and November 2019 for firing into an occupied vehicle, a charge for which he is still free on a $50,000 bail more than two years later Smith is also currently free on a $50,000 bond in Charleston, South Carolina in relation to a November 2019 arrest on suspicion of firing a weapon into an occupied vehicle, court records show.
