Judicial Watch represents Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson in claims against Jackson

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes corruption, today announced that on January 17, 2006, Jesse Lee Peterson, et al., v. Jesse Jackson, et al. (BC 266505) will go to trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court after a ruling last week by Judge George H. Wu. Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit against Jackson, his son Jonathan, and others on behalf of Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, who was the victim of a physical and verbal assault at an event hosted by Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. in December 2001. Rev. Peterson is an ordained minister, who has dedicated his life to working with underprivileged black youth and men in our society.

Thank you very much. I should have asked a long time ago.

Jackson told the crowd, ..."The issue is certain parasites trying to pick up fruit from trees they didn't shake."

New title:

"Rev'runnnn Jesse Admits Shakedown; Starts Turf War Over Spoils"

Jackson told the crowd, "And the issue, for the record ... is not conservative or liberal. The issue is certain parasites trying to pick up fruit from trees they didn't shake."

I think he meant to say "shakedown".

"I don't think he'll have a snowball's chance of winning this"... Sadly I agree, California Jurors, especially in Los Angeles County, seem to give all celebrities a pass. Jessie Jacson seems to be untouchable, unaccountable for any of his actions. He is not a good man

Welcome to FR, both of ya.

You might also wanna check out the Free Republic Lexicon (just do a search on "Lexicon," you'll find it). It'll help make some sense of posts that are series, hugh, or have stuned beebers, or even that refer to moose and cheese. :)

..."The issue is certain parasites trying to pick up fruit from trees they didn't shake."

This is Jesse's scam and he doesnt want anyone else to share in it, He has worked for years getting this extortion scam down to perfection and now some other Reverend wants a piece of the action. No wonder Jesse is mad. The Rainbow Coalition has bills to pay , like child support, How dare this Reverend walk in and expect to profit from Jesse's scam.

Maybe Sista Cindy

Just to clarify--you mean Madam Sheehan, not new FReeper cindycin, right?

[AD from SpringBay]

Sista Sheehan, that's correct.

[Cindy_Cin]

I chose Cindy_cin before Miss Sheehan made a disgrace of the name! UGH

[grellis]

I figured it was just a coincidence.

Welcome to Free Republic! Have fun...or just throw stuff around.

Heads up to the feds. Have armed troops standing by with shoot to kill orders to slam the inevitable post-trial looting and rioting.
