Why Bird Watcher Chris Cooper Will Not Testify Against Amy Cooper

There is a new development in the case of Amy Cooper, the white woman charged last week for allegedly filing a false police report claiming she was being threatened in Central Park by Black bird watcher Christian Cooper. But the man she called the police on may be the one saving her from prosecution. Christian Cooper says that he thinks she has suffered enough, and that he will not testify against her. He said that someone’s life shouldn’t be “defined by 60 seconds of poor judgement.”
