Then calls him a different name altogether. Nothing homophobic according to the attorney. Folks reacted quick with outrage from media reports, but police saw no real crime after watching the evidence. Prosecutors declined charges, figuring there was zero intent to break the law, even though Latrell felt his peace got disturbed. This isn't isolated.
