There is good news to report on the home front with regards to the Jena 6. If you haven’t heard, a Louisiana appeals court tossed the aggravated-battery conviction of Mychal Bell, 17, after it was ruled that he shouldn’t have been tried as an adult. Technically, Bell is still incarcerated but all the charges have been dropped. There is the possibility that he could be retried as a juvie, because the attacked on a White classmate. Don’t forget to mention the shotgun and the noose hanging from the tree that preceded the attack. I love how mainstream press buries the most important stuff.
Nevertheless, the overturned conviction doesn’t mean that this ish is over. Thousands are still going to descend on Lil’ Jena, Louisiana to speak on the other five and keep the awareness up. Al Sharpton said that he hoped that Mychal Bell.
