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.

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.
“You have to have some smarts to be a nurse.”
From the information I’ve gathered...she was a nurse’s aide, and is now a practical nurse working in a nursing home.
sharptons facetime with his stunts since Imus hasn’t been working very well, so I guess he’s hoping the notoreity of this old case will give him a squiggle on the charts.......
I’m going to keep saying this until the MSM gets it right: neither Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton attended seminary school and, hence, have no legitimate right to the title “Rev.â€. In fact, Al Sharpton did not graduate from college. He was “ordained†at age 10 by a preacher in Washington, DC. I think this is a disgrace to those who actually earned the title.
This is what irks me...this is how Sharpton gained, not earned, the title of “Reverend”:
“Sharpton was licensed and ordained a Pentecostal minister at the age of nine by Bishop F.D. Washington. After Bishop Washington’s death in the late 1980s, Sharpton became a Baptist; he was re-baptized as a member of the Bethany Baptist Church in 1994 by the Reverend William Jones and became a Baptist minister.”

Funny, but apparently we were writing our posts at the same time!
Mine had to do with Mr. Sharpton.
Thanks for your post! I wish the media would catch on to this! I cringe when they are referred to as “Reverend!”
ARGH! ;)
same phony kinda guy as ward churchill
Clowns, and Assholes all! Ah, the DemonRat Party! The pause that refreshes!!!
They want another 15 minurtes of fame and access to $$$$
How long before one of the tabloids offerrs them money for their story?
Wouldn’t the statute of limitations have passed?
Doesn’t this enter into double jeopardy for the defendents?
Oh wait, it’s Al Sharpton. The rules don’t apply.
Seriously... sounds like a test case for reparations.
“I guess he’s hoping the notoreity of this old case will give him a squiggle on the charts..”
and cameras.
Hey, jack...
What’s happenin’ to your computer?
Very good point. I didn't realize this.
“ward churchill...”
Yeah. Tell that to econjack. He probably has an opinion. I see he teaches at a university.
I heard he never earned a Ph.D. Has anyone else heard this?
“You have to have some smarts to be a nurse.”
Depends on what kind.
I thought he got a Masters from some matchbook U that went defunct soon after he showed up at UC...
“Not sure exactly why, but my guess is that it’s either Al or Jesse messin’ around with me!”
Can’t be! Jim Robinson would not let them in here!
