The media did not reveal that Mychal Bell, who was convicted of battery in the Barker beating, was convicted a year ago for battery and committed three additional crimes while on probation, making the Jena 6 verdict his fifth conviction for a crime of violence.
Yep, nobody in the news media here bothered to mention this either. They were all tripping over themselves about how the evil prosecutor was pressing for an attempted murder case instead of whimpering in front of the "racists" chant and letting him go. Looks like the prosecutor had it right.
Yep. I think he remembered what happened when Nifong turned his back on the facts and pandered to the black community.
