Rev. Al Sharpton Visits Tense La. Town
The Rev. Al Sharpton criticized officials in this racially tense Louisiana town on Sunday, saying the attempted murder charges leveled against six black teens show "one rule for white kids and one for black kids." Mychal Bell faces up to 22 years in prison after being convicted of aggravated second-degree battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated second-degree battery.

The Injustice and Nigger Whine Continues

(A good rope could eliminate these ugly feral niggers quickly like in a previous TNB Aware Generation...)

Members of the Houston Millions More Movement Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and the Muhammad’s Mosque No. 45 Fruit of Islam visited the families of the Jena 6 on July 14 to conduct an fact-finding mission along with The Final Call.

“Our mission to Jena made clear to me that the “old south” is not so old that it is not without a pulse and heart
beat,” stated Deric Muhammad, Houston MOJ Spokesman. “The U.S. congress and Black America doesn’t have to strain its eyes toward Darfur or South Africa to see apartheid and/or genocide. We need look no further than Jena, Louisiana.”

The Black residents have been mobilizing the last few months with protests, organizing meetings, developed a NAACP branch headed by Secretary Catrina Wallace and created the Jena 6 Defense Fund Committee. They are planning a major protest on the steps of the Jena courthouse on the day of Bell’s sentencing and are calling on everyone to support.

School bans T-shirts in beating case

Wed Aug 29, 10:05 AM ET

Officials at a central Louisiana high school have banned T-shirts supporting six black students accused of beating of a white schoolmate, saying the shirts are too disruptive.

About nine students at Jena High School wore the "Free the Jena 6" T-shirts Tuesday, and the slogan caused too much of a stir on campus, said LaSalle Parish Schools Superintendent Roy Breithaupt said.

John Jenkins said his three daughters wore the shirts to make a statement, not to cause trouble.

"They weren't doing anything other than wearing the shirts," Jenkins said. "The school doesn't have a dress code. They were covered. They're trying to tell them what they can and can't wear."

His son, Carwin Jones, is one of the six (black) students charged with attempted murder in the December 2006 beating of (white) 18-year-old Justin Barker. Barker was treated for a swollen and cut face and released the same day.

The attempted murder charges sparked outrage in the black community and drew attention from the American Civil Liberties Union, which is now monitoring the cases (where were they when the white kid was beaten?). The Rev. Al Sharpton has also spoken up for the six students, saying the attempted-murder charges indicate a different standard of justice for blacks and whites.

One of the students, Mychal Bell, 17, was convicted on a reduced charge of aggravated second-degree battery and faces up to 22 years in prison. He had initially faced attempted murder charges. The other five teens are awaiting trial on attempted murder and conspiracy charges.

Racial tensions surfaced in Jena — a town of 2,900 with about 350 black residents — last fall, when students at the high school found three nooses hanging from a tree on campus. Three white students were suspended, but no criminal charges were filed. (if only those nooses would have found three black necks, this beating might not have happened)

Charges Reduced in 'Jena 6' Attack

JENA, La. - Prosecutors on Tuesday reduced the attempted murder charges against two more teenagers among the "Jena Six," a group of black high school students who were arrested following an attack on a white schoolmate.

Five of the teens were originally charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, carrying sentences of up to 80 years in prison. The sixth faces undisclosed juvenile charges.

Civil rights advocates have decried the charges as unfairly harsh.

On Tuesday, charges against Carwin Jones and Theo Shaw were reduced to aggravated second-degree battery and conspiracy. That same reduction was made earlier for Mychal Bell, who was tried and found guilty and could be sentenced to 22 1/2 years at a hearing Sept. 20.

Also awaiting trial are Robert Bailey Jr. and Bryant Purvis, who still face attempted murder charges, and the unidentified juvenile.

The attack on Justin Barker, 18, came amid tense race relations in Jena, a mostly white town of 3,000 in north-central Louisiana where racial tensions have grown since incidents that started last school year at Jena High. After a black student sat under a tree on the school campus where white students traditionally congregated, three nooses were hung in the tree.

Students accused of placing the nooses were suspended from school for a short period.

The six black students were accused of beating and kicking Barker on Dec. 4. A motive for the attack was never established. Barker was treated at a hospital emergency room and released after about three hours.

Shaw's attorney, George Tucker, said Tuesday that he still doesn't believe his client will get a fair trial in Jena.

Shaw himself has dreams of attending Gramling State University. "Just drop all the charges and let us go on with our lives," the teenager told CNN Tuesday.

Just Drop your head from a Frickin' Rope in front of Gramling...Idiot Nigger.

Charges reduced for fourth 'Jena 6' member
12:19 PM CDT on Tuesday, September 11, 2007

JENA -- Prosecutors are continuing to reduce charges against black Jena High School students charged as adults in the Dec. 4 attack on a white student.

Robert Bailey Jr., one of the five teens charged as adults in the case, pleaded not guilty Monday to aggravated second-degree battery against Justin Barker, and to conspiring with the others to attack him.

Like the other five, he originally had been charged with attempted murder. That charge was dropped to the battery charge last week when Carwin Jones and Theo Shaw were arraigned, leaving Bryant Purvis the only youth yet to be arraigned and still charged as an adult with attempted murder.

A sixth is charged in juvenile court.

On Monday, Rev. Al Sharpton wrote Gov. Kathleen Blanco and the state board of ethics asking for an investigation of District Attorney Reed Walters' activities in connection with the case.

Sharpton and other black leaders have called for a rally in Jena on Sept. 20, to protest the charges against the six black teens.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson joined Bell's parents, Marcus Jones and Melissa Bell, for a juvenile court hearing on the conspiracy charge. Those hearings are confidential, so attorneys could not comment.

But Noel said he expects the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal to overturn bell's battery conviction as an adult. "Hopefully, we will get a ruling on that prior to the sentencing" scheduled Sept. 20, he said.

Jackson, who has said the adult charges are excessive, urged the judge and to send the six teens back to school, instead of to jail. (Would he be saying the same thing if it were six white kids that gang-attacked a defenseless negro boy?)

(Jackson basically says reduce charges or else....unphucking believable!)
A suspended jail sentence for Bell and charges reduced to misdemeanors for the other defendants are necessary, Jackson said. And if not, a "major demonstration" spurred by the "national and international outrage" will follow on Sept. 20.

Louisiana judge tosses conviction against teen tried as adult

September 15, 2007

A Louisiana appeals court Friday vacated the remaining conviction of a teenager accused in a violent, racially charged incident in Jena, Louisiana, his attorney said.

Mychal Bell's defense team will be filing a motion to get him out of prison.

Bob Noel said the 3rd District Court of Appeals in Lake Charles threw out the conviction for second degree battery against Mychal Bell, saying the charges should have been brought in juvenile court.

"We're happy now, but tomorrow is another day," Noel told reporters.

The future of the case against Bell is up to the district attorney, who must decide whether to refile the charges in juvenile court, Noel said.

"We have to wait and see what the other side's going to do, how they're going to react," he said. Video Watch CNN's Susan Roesgen explain the case

Bell's defense team would be filing a motion to get him out of prison, where he has been since his arrest in December, Noel said.

"The primary concern is to get Mychal Bell out of jail and into school where he needs to be," he said.

Bell, who is now 17, was 16 at the time of the fight in December 2006.

Earlier this month, a district court judge vacated a conviction for conspiracy to commit second degree battery, saying that charge should have been brought in juvenile court.

He left standing the second degree battery conviction, however.

A sentencing hearing that had been scheduled for September 20 is now off, he said.

The Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton had been planning to join a rally in support of Bell on that date, The Associated Press reported. Watch Al Sharpton talk about the case Video

Bell and five other members of what has become known as the "Jena 6" were initially charged with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit attempted murder in connection with the December 4 beating of a white student.
Don't Miss

Charges against Bell were reduced, as were charges against Carwin Jones and Theodore Shaw, who have not yet come to trial.

Robert Bailey, Bryant Purvis and an unidentified juvenile remain charged with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Racial tensions had simmered at Jena High School and in the small town for the first three months of the 2006 school year after a black student asked the vice principal if he and some friends could sit under an oak tree where white students typically congregated.

Told by the vice principal they could sit wherever they pleased, the student and his pals plopped down under the sprawling branches of the shade tree in the campus courtyard.

The next day, students arrived at school to find three nooses hanging from those branches.

"I seen them hanging. I'm thinking the KKK, you know, were hanging nooses. They want to hang somebody. Real nooses, the ones you see on TV, are the kind of nooses they were," Bailey, 17, one of the Jena 6, told the syndicated radio show "Democracy Now!" in July.

The school's principal recommended expulsion for those behind the nooses, according to The Town Talk newspaper in nearby Alexandria. Instead, a school district committee suspended three white students for three days for hanging the nooses, the newspaper reported, a gesture written off as a "prank."

"Toilet paper, that's a prank, you know what I'm saying?" Bailey told the radio show. "Nooses hanging there -- nooses ain't no prank."

The district attorney was summoned to address the student body. Off-campus fights were reported. On November 30, someone torched the school's main academic building. The arson remains unsolved, but many suspect it was linked to the discord.

Four days after the arson, several students jumped a white classmate, Justin Barker, knocking him unconscious while stomping and kicking him. The charges against the Jena 6 resulted from that incident.

Parents of the Jena 6 said they heard Barker was hurling racial epithets. Barker's parents said he did nothing to provoke the beating.

Barker was taken to a hospital with injuries to both eyes and ears, as well as cuts. His right eye had blood clots, said his mother, Kelli Barker. He was treated and released that day.

Bail for the Jena 6 was set at between $70,000 and $138,000. All but Bell posted bond. The judge had refused to lower his $90,000 bail, citing Bell's criminal record, which includes four juvenile offenses -- two simple battery charges among them.

Niggers are whining about charges against the clearly Violent convicted Feral Chimps:

--------
*Mychal Bell, one of six black Jena, Louisiana High School students charged in the beating of a white student amid racial tensions, and one of five originally charged as adults with attempted second-degree murder, has had his case overturned by a state appeals court.

The charges against Bell brought widespread criticism that blacks were being treated more harshly than whites in Jena. The case drew international attention, and one by one the charges against the teens have been reduced.

Bell, who was 16 at the time of the beating, had been convicted of aggravated battery, which could have sent him to prison for 15 years.

The state third circuit court of appeal says Bell should not have been tried as an adult on the battery charge, reports the Associated Press.

Bell's attorney, Louis Scott, said he did not know when his client would get out of jail.

"We don't know what approach the prosecution is going to take — whether they will re-charge him, where he would have to be subjected to bail all over again or not," Scott said.

Bell had been scheduled to be sentenced this coming Thursday, the same day that civil rights leaders planned to rally in support of the teens.

In other Jena 6 news, as reported earlier, prosecutors have reduced the attempted murder charge against another of the "Jena Six."

Robert Bailey Jr. pleaded not guilty Monday to aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery. He was among five of the six teens originally charged as adults with attempted murder. The sixth was charged in juvenile court.

Prosecutors also dropped the attempted murder account to battery last week in the cases of Carwin Jones and Theo Shaw when they were arraigned.

That leaves Bryant Purvis the only youth yet to be arraigned and still charged as an adult with attempted second-degree murder.

A conviction for attempted second-degree murder requires 10 to 50 years of hard labor without suspension, probation or parole. Aggravated battery can be punished with up to 15 years and a $10,000 fine.

"The prosecutor from the beginning of this case has seemingly employed less than ethical and just legal tactics in over zealous attempts to have Mychal Bell unjustly convicted," said Rev. Al Sharpton, who has joined Rev. Jesse Jackson and other black leaders in organizing the rally in Jena on Sept. 20. It's unclear presently what the plans for the rally are in the wake of Bell's case being overturned.

Meanwhile, in a letter to Gov. Kathleen Blanco and the state board of ethics, Rev. Sharpton requested an investigation of the district attorney's actions in the case. Here is the full text of Sharpton’s letter:

The National Action Network has documented what amounts to, in our opinion, several instances of prosecutorial abuse and misuse of prosecutorial powers. The claims are as follows:

District Attorney Reed Walters in the case of the State of Louisiana vs. Mychal Bell in Jena, Louisiana, failed to prosecute the individuals who assaulted Robert Bailey Jr. This failure to prosecute represents, in our estimation, a dereliction of duty.

It is also our opinion that the District Attorney failed in his duties to pursue justice by refusing to depose, investigate and interview credible and relevant witnesses, apparently due to the race of these witnesses.

District Attorney Walters is seeking to retry Mychal Bell for juvenile conspiracy after losing the battle to convict Mychal of adult conspiracy. This represents a violation of the spirit of "Double Jeopardy", if not a violation of the letter of the law.

We decry the failure of District Attorney Walters to prosecute individual(s) who possessed and used a firearm, specifically a shot gun, to threaten the life and well being of certain individual(s) being prosecuted in the Jena, Louisiana. However, the District Attorney did prosecute the African-Americans who exercised their right to self defense by removing the weapon from the possession of the armed male, with original possession.

The Prosecutor from the beginning of this case, has seemingly employed less than ethical and just legal tactics in over zealous attempts to have Mychal Bell unjustly convicted. We at the National Action Network are calling on you Governor Blanco and the Louisiana State Board of Ethics to safeguard Mychal Bell's Constitutional Rights and to act as the arbiter of Justice, as well as to investigate District Attorney Reed Walters’ prosecutorial activities as they relate to the State of Louisiana vs. Mychal Bell. We are ultimately seeking to prevent this prosecutor from further engaging in these questionable legal maneuvers and activities.

The need for us as a nation of justice people to descend upon Jena, Louisiana, on September 20th could not be more evident than now, in light of these egregious prosecutorial actions. We will be there to stand with Mychal and his family for his sake and the sake of all of our civil and constitutional rights.

'Jena Six' blackers plan rally;

The NAACP expects as many as 60,000 people from more than 30 cities to descend this week on Jena, La., a poor, rural community of 3,000 at the center of a racially charged case involving six black high school students charged with beating a white classmate.
The case of the "Jena Six" has attracted national attention. It began in August when a student asked during a school assembly if black students could sit beneath a tree where white students usually sat. The following day two nooses were hung from the tree.

The incident's racial connotations set off a series of fights, culminating in an altercation that led to six black teens being charged with attempted murder for the beating of white student, Justin Barker, 17, who was knocked unconscious.

Five of the students, including Mychal Bell, 17, were charged as adults. Later, charges against Bell and three of the other students were reduced. Bell, the first to go to trial, was convicted of aggravated second-degree battery by an all-white jury in June. Last Friday a Louisiana appeals court tossed out Bell's conviction, ruling he should not have been tried as an adult. He was to be sentenced this Thursday, the day of the support rally.

Friday's ruling is a significant victory for supporters of the six teens.

"More people are coming to celebrate," said Brian Moran, the acting president of the NAACP chapter in Jena and one of the organizers of the rally.

LaSalle Parish prosecutor, Reed Walters could not be reached at his home or office Sunday, but said in a statement, "I will ask the Louisiana Supreme Court to review the decision of the court of appeals."

He has 14 days to appeal.

Bell, who faced 15 years in prison, has been in jail since his arrest Dec. 4. His attorneys will go to court today to ask that the local judge presiding over the case, J.P. Mauffrey Jr., be removed. If they are successful, they will then ask the new judge to release Bell on bail, said Carol Powell Lexing, one of the attorneys.

"The ruling means we get to start over on an even playing field," Powell Lexing said.

Bell's father, Marcus Jones, said, "He's still locked up. I won't feel total relief until he's out."

National civil rights activists Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King III say they will attend Thursday's rally.

Newark group seeks to help the Jena Six
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
The People's Organization for Progress will demonstrate in support of the Jena Six on Thursday at noon at Broad and Market streets in Newark.

The Jena Six case involves six black teenagers who have been the subjects of what some call a racially biased prosecution related to the beating of a white high school classmate in Jena, La. They originally faced attempted murder charges. However, as a result of legal challenges and pressure from civil rights groups and other organizations, some of the charges were thrown out, others overturned on appeal and several of the remaining charges have been reduced. A national demonstration in support of the six will take place in Jena on Thursday.
