LAS VEGAS - A building firm that brought charges against a nine-year-old boy for writing his name in wet concrete is calling on police to drop the case, after receiving a string of death threats and brick missiles through its office windows.
Ms Barbara Anderson, the mother of the accused boy, Jeremy Anderson, said: "It is really in the District Attorney's best interests to drop the case." The firm which constructed the pavement, Plaster Development Group, is also pressing the district attorney to back down.
She is planning a lawsuit claiming that Jeremy's civil rights have been violated, demanding an apology from the police and campaigning for a change in the Nevada state law allowing the arrest of anyone over the age of eight.
