NEW YORK (AP) -- Twenty years after her allegations of a racially charged rape became a national flash point, Tawana Brawley's mother and stepfather want to reopen the case, a newspaper reported Sunday.
Glenda Brawley and Ralph King want to press New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to re-examine the November 1987 incident, which a state grand jury ultimately concluded was a hoax, the Daily News reported.

Duck and cover, Rev. Al.
Didn’t SHarpton lose a libel suit on this case?
—we still haven’t found Judge Crater , either——
Of course it has to be re-opened.
This time Al Sharpton will PROVE it was racism that resulted in the case being lost and him being acused of libel.......he has the lessons of Imus behind him now.
You have to be kidding me. It even sounds like the girl has moved on and made a life. Someone have an idea what the point of this would be?
Sharpton and another party (attorney?), too. IIRC

these people have no sense of shame.
no government official is going to reopen this case.
they destroyed to career and personal life of steven pagones.
This is too random and contrived. The dems are doing this too activat their base to the polls. This “story” was deemed a lie 20 years ago.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I wonder if Elliot Spitzer is crazy enough to reopen this flagrant fraud? And how crazy are these parents?
Sharpton lost a libel suit for his part in the hoax. For years he his all assets.

Well they have had 20 years to get their story straight this time around.
DUKE, it out!!
Delusion springs eternal in the human breast.
I’ll bet even Tawana wants her mother to shut up about it. Tawana knows very well that she didn’t get molested, much less raped, but she told the lie to her parents for so long that now Mom and Stepdad believe it and can’t let go. What a tangled web we weave . . .
hmmm
There were two or three aspects of this case...which weren’t really answered. We still don’t know where she was for the four days, and she has yet to ever explain it...to her parents or the public. If it were all bogus...then at some point...you’d normally admit it and move on. In this case...she moved on...never admitting it. The fact that she hasn’t become a drugged out junkie...leads me to the curious situation of thinking that someone in the NY cop circles...was involved in this...and it wasn’t as bogus as we always thought. The strange thing today...is why bring this back up, unless they really truly believed in what she said.
schumer wanted to reopen an old civil rights case in Mississippi-until he found out that all elected officials in Miss at the time were Dems-at that point it went away.
I say re-open it. This is nothing more than attempt to throw mud on Rudy-and just like the crap that the union firefighters are getting ready to pull it will back fire on them. I want to see Sharpton put on the stand and forced to testify as part of the case.
“How could we make this up and take down the state of New York? We’re just regular people,” Glenda Brawley said to her husband. “We should be millionaires.”
(snip)
Brawley, now 35, rarely emerges from her self-imposed exile these days, returning to New York only as a guest of the United African Movement, established by Sharpton and her lawyers to lend her name to civil rights cases. She accepts free flights and limousine rides from the group to merely appear at its events.
Brawley’s family said she does not wear a hijab, or head scarf, but is a devout Muslim, a conversion that began during the trial when Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan gave her the name Maryam Muhammad.
Her parents, who are Christians, said she can call any mosque in the world and will be provided with security, if her advisers from New York or her specially trained dog cannot protect her.
(snip)
Two things. First, the involved parties must be in need of cash.
Second, if Brawley is now a muzzl’em, she should be stoned to death or lashed to death for being raped. Whoever raped her should be told not to do that again for a while.
major barf!!
Truth measured in $$$$$
She wants a "do-over"!
Does this remind anyone else of AlphaGore's attempt to FORCE the presidency?
...fish rots from the head down...and all that...
Good luck reopening that can of worms. Any prosecutor that would touch that case has rocks in his head the size of Gibraltar. A bunch of people wound up under the wheels of the bus on that one. Sharpton and an couple of his buddies lost a defamation case on that little caper.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Probably too many bills to pay and not enough cash coming into the ole homestead.
Yeah, 20 years later we’re going to get the truth alright. Jes. If you can’t convince a grand jury, it’s done, for good.
” her specially trained dog cannot protect her”.
She’s got a mistreated Pit Bull chained up in the front yard.
She’s out of the spotlight?
Addressing that 'insufficient funds' notice from the "Justice for Tawana" fund?
So does that mean Brawley & Sharpton could actually be prosecuted this time?
Follow the money. It was pouring into coffers of Sharpton and the Brawleys back in the days. Even Bill Cosby gave to the cause. But Andrew Cuomo is AG now and since his dad was the governor who eventually closed down the extortionists, I doubt this will get much traction.
Sounds like it. Scum of a feather flock together.
Hopefully Spitzer will accomodate these nuts.
Buckwheat turned muslum as well now he is kareem o wheat
As for the parent’s, show me the money.
Brawley has changed her name.....

Should have changed it to Tawana X ... for excrement.
Tawana became a Muslim several years ago and now goes by some other, equally wacky name.I don’t know if her parents became Muslims or not. I’d suspect there’s a little bit of floating Islamic rage stirring this up again, combined with Al stirring the pot in all these staged “noose” cases and things like the “Jena 6,” etc.
It must be jealousy over all the attention the nappy headed ho in Durham got.....
Plus — the ignorant parents must think that they have a Governor and State Attorney General STUPID enough to go to bat for their skanky whore of a daughter....
I’m betting they’re RIGHT.
In a sane world, Tawana Brawley would still be in jail for her false rape charges..
I’m getting more than tired of lying black skanks and their “victim to profit” bullshit.
The fact that she hasnt become a drugged out junkie...leads me to the curious situation of thinking that someone in the NY cop circles...was involved in this...and it wasnt as bogus as we always thought.
BTW—I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn—cheap! Interested?
Money. Free money.

...bunch of nasty, sticky birds...
I guess Tawana’s parents didn’t save any money for their retirement?
“Brawley has changed her name and become a nurse”
Hopefully I will come under the care of a nurse who is that nuts. Also, I would bet the Brawley’s had the mindset that they are “owed” even before Tawana was born.
I thought after the Brawley hoax, Sharpton would never talk about her or the case when he was being interviewed. Now all of a sudden he will be ok about talking about it?
