A top editor at the Amsterdam News was arrested on embezzlement charges after the paper's publisher accused him of thievery.........Jamal Watson, executive editor....was arrested Friday and charged with grand larceny........
.......the paper's publisher, Elinor Tatum, did not return a call for comment. But her father—and the former publisher—Wilbert Tatum, defended Watson. "The man hasn't been convicted of anything," the elder Tatum said. "I think he's [a] good [editor]."
Watson made headlines in 2001, after a curious incident as a reporter at The Boston Globe. Watson resigned from the paper ........According to the police report, Watson confessed to taking (a reporter's) wallet. Watson denied the charges and said he resigned prior to the wallet incident because he wanted to work in government. But a job offer from the Boston mayor reportedly was withdrawn.
In 2004, Watson invited disgraced former New York Times reporter Jayson Blair to speak at Marist College, where Watson was a visiting communications instructor.
Wilbert Tatum was convicted of embezzling more than $1 million from the paper in 1996. A jury found the elder Tatum, who ran the paper since the 1980s, had siphoned the money from the paper's parent company, Amnews Corp. He was found to have paid himself an inflated salary and hired his wife as his personal assistant, among other allegations.

What does Al Sharpton say when is running to catch an elevator?
Ho de do bro.
Any suggestion that Jamal's motives in liberating the money from the oppressor pig publisher were anything other than selfless are, of course, racist.
I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you! As I was with the most dangerous cities in America. Look at the list- any common thread?...
And, moreover, he and his kind often practice on their own people to provide a oh-so-kindly working demonstration of how oppression is done...
(Sniffle ) He's just a "victim" (sob).
Thanks for the ping!
What a screwed-up paper.
