It took them 20 years to bring this up? Losers.
Or who hired Craig Livingstone.
Love the graphic!
Uh, money? Maybe they want to put a book together. They should talk to the Wilson-Plames. Perhaps they can give them advice on how to get a book full of lies published.
I can see the Spitzman taking this on. Afterall, he’s been working hard for New Yorkers since his election, by tackling important issues like using state troopers to spy on your political foes, siccing the IRS on your political foes, giving drivers licenses to illegals, collecting internet taxes, and legalizing gay marriages. Yes sir, that Elliot is one hell of a guy.
"Grand jury hearings:
On October 6, 1988, the Abrams Grand Jury released its extensive and thorough 170-page report concluding Tawana Brawley had not been abducted, assaulted, raped and sodomized as had been claimed by Brawley and her advisors. The report further concluded that the "unsworn public allegations against Dutchess County Assistant District Attorney Steven Pagones" were false and had no basis in fact. To issue the report, the Grand Jury heard from 180 witnesses, saw 250 exhibits and recorded more than 6,000 pages of testimony.
In the decision, the grand jury noted many problems with Brawley's story. Among these were the results of the rape kit, which did not indicate sexual assault. Also, despite her claim of having been held captive for days, Brawley was not suffering from exposure, was well nourished, and appeared to have brushed her teeth recently. There were no burns on her body, despite her clothing being charred. A shoe she was wearing was cut through, yet she had sustained no injuries to her foot. The racial epithets written on her were upside-down, which led to suspicion that Brawley herself wrote the words. Testimony from her schoolmates indicated she had attended a local party during the time of her supposed abduction, and one witness claimed to have observed Brawley climbing into the garbage bag.
A total of 180 witnesses were called during the hearings. Brawley herself never testified.
And as for the Aftermath, according to Wikipedia:
"Brawley and her mother were issued subpoenas to appear in front of the grand jury but refused to testify. This may have prompted Brawley and her family to move hastily to Virginia, taking with them a "defense fund" of $300,000 which had been contributed by well-wishers. There remains an outstanding warrant in New York against the two for ignoring the subpoena."
the point of this is that they want Tawana’s case dropped so that her warrant in NEW YORK is no longer open.
She is studying to be a registered nurse, and there are lot’s of high paying hospitals, in New York.
Her parents are asking the charges in NEW YORK, be dismissed.
SOMEONE DO THE MATH.
BRING IT ON!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!! LET’s BRING THAT PUPPY UP AGAIN!!!
A LAWSUIT.
You are kidding....Tawanna Brawley is now Maryanne MUHAMMED?? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH...you can NOT make this stuff up!
Yeah, I can see Spitzer doing that.
I think that there is nothing wrong with dismissing the charges, and warrant.
As long as the fines were paid in accordance to the judgment.
Anyone not paid up, doesn’t get ‘pardoned’.
Then, this young woman can act like a grown up, get on with her life, and quit being a tool of the local politics.
I, Reverend al'Sharptongue, do take this woman, Elizabeth Taylor Jackson, to have and to hold....
It'z all about da Benjaminz!!! mmmmm-hmmmmm.

Hi, Vn...nice “seeing” you again! It’s been awhile!
Interesting post. I didn’t know that! I remember the case, but never knew this part of it.
“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?”
Ummm..... Money?
