Feaster’s mother, Brianna Walker, is satisfied with the charges, telling WRAL that it’s an unfortunate situation all around.
“If those charges are what detective told me are the true charges, [then] I’m okay with that,” Walker said. “I pray for all of them. I hope it’s a lesson with all of this. All of them are juveniles; they have a life to live. This is not life.”
