He is the "principal owner of a private investigations firm" but couldn't find her for 25 years?
I thought she had gone to jail for some recent criminal act.
I remember reading an article by the NY Post years ago about her moving down South, converting to Islam and changing her name to some five syllable Muzzie name.
Like anyone gives a sh!t what you think.
If it weren’t for her, he’d be pimping underage girls wearing his trademark purple jogging suit.
“As far as Im concerned she acted out of childish stupidity.”
Not a chance.
A bunch of chest thumping over a little fish.
You’ll be back to screaming like a little girl the next time the big fish bites.
Its no wonder the democrats outsmart us so much.
I believe Brother Al only gets involved when there's MONEY to be made, not paid.
You have far more confidence in this country's courts (and lawyers) than do I.
Not a little fish to the people she screwed over. You probably think that Crystal Mangum is a little fish too. There are people on this forum whose opinions I respect. You're not even in the top 99.99%
Pagones subsequently filed a civil suit against Al Sharpton and lawyers C. Vernon Mason and Alton H. Maddox, seeking $395 million in damages for 22 alleged defamatory statements.
On July 13, 1998, after an eight-month trial, a jury found Sharpton liable for defamation for seven of the statements, Mason for one, and Maddox for two. On July 29, 1998, the jury awarded Pagones a total of $345,000 in damages.
Sharpton was found liable for $65,000 of the amount, Maddox for $95,000, and Mason for $185,00
I agree that collecting may be a problem, but he’s gotta try. She’ll probably pi$$ away her seizable assets(*) and then file for bankruptcy.
(*— Or illicitly hide them, and then lie about it under oath in the bankruptcy proceedings. She’s good at lying.)
No just totally irrelevant.
I believe Sharpton has a similar judgment against him, which he never has paid.
And nobody is guiltier than him. Brawley would have dropped it and confessed early on but Sharpton saw his big score and encouraged her to lie.
I agree almost 100%. Sure, she was young and stupid and probably “put up to it” by others, but she committed a horrific crime. She should have done time in juvenile hall.
As to the money, I agree it is appropriate. Frankly I am surprised she wasn’t advised to declare bankruptcy decades ago, listing these (Pagones’s and others) debts to be discharged. (Perhaps they couldn’t be, as the perjury was a willful tort as opposed to negligent? Dunno.)
$430K? His clothing allowance from MSNBC is probably larger than that.
I agree that Sharpton and the other adults who used Brawley’s story are more culpable. I wonder how it is that he’s avoided paying the civil judgments against him? I mean, he’s openly paid by MSNBC and other entities that could be served with a garnishment order. Oh well.
