on june 5 2011 cece was walking to the grocery store with some friends all of them young african american and lgbtiq or allied as they passed a local bar the schooner tavern a group of older white people who were standing outside the bar s side door began hurling racist and transphobic slurs at them without provocation they called cece and her friends faggots niggers and chicks with dicks and suggested that cece was dressed as a woman in order to rape dean schmitz one of the attackers when cece approached the group and told them that her crew would not tolerate hate speech one of the women said i ll take you bitches on and then smashed her glass into cece s face she punctured cece s cheek all the way through lacerating her salivary gland a fight ensued during which one of the attackers dean schmitz was fatally stabbed cece was the only person arrested that night she was briefly taken to the hospital where she received 11 stitches in her cheek while she was still suffering both physically and mentally from this traumatic incident she was left alone in a room for three hours and then interrogated and then placed in solitary confinement at the hennepin county men s jail she spent the next several months in jail and had to wait almost two months between her initial doctors visit and a much needed follow up appointment after her arrest cece was quickly charged with second degree murder in short she was prosecuted for surviving a violent racist transphobic attack hennepin county attorney michael freeman the self described michael jordan of prosecutors held the power to drop the charges against cece but in the face of powerful community demands to free cece freeman did not drop the charges instead he dug in his heels and escalated the attack against cece by adding an additional charge of second degree murder on may 2 2012 as jury selection for cece s trial was underway cece accepted a plea agreement she pled guilty to a reduced charge of 2nd degree manslaugter
