Last week at his disorderly conduct trial in Denver Co., Marlon Wayans shared pictures of white United Airline passengers being allowed to carry three bags on the plane, after he was prevented from doing so, kicked off the flight and charged with disorderly conduct [click here if you missed that].
Now the prosecutor has asked the judge to dismiss the case...
From 9 News
Denver prosecutors asked a judge on Friday to dismiss a case against Marlon Wayans stemming from a luggage dispute with an airline employee who the actor and comedian said targeted him because of his race.
The city attorney's office's request comes a day after Wayans, who is Black, asked for the case to be dismissed and accused prosecutors of perpetuating the discrimination he faced by continuing with the case. Assistant City Attorney Katie Conner did not directly explain why prosecutors wanted the case dismissed, but she suggested that information gathered by Wayans' lawyers about white passengers being allowed to violate United Airlines' luggage limit played a role.

Why? He has proof that other ppl were able to get on the plane with 3 pieces of luggage when he was refused.
Good for him dismissing it was only right
Good! The charges against him were BS anyway. Nothing Marlon did is considered unlawful and the mere fact they decided to charge him with disorderly conduct is suspicious. I hope he sues United for discriminatory practices.
