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.

“How could we make this up and take down the state of New York? We’re just regular people,” Glenda Brawley said to her husband. “We should be millionaires.”
(snip)
Brawley, now 35, rarely emerges from her self-imposed exile these days, returning to New York only as a guest of the United African Movement, established by Sharpton and her lawyers to lend her name to civil rights cases. She accepts free flights and limousine rides from the group to merely appear at its events.
Brawley’s family said she does not wear a hijab, or head scarf, but is a devout Muslim, a conversion that began during the trial when Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan gave her the name Maryam Muhammad.
Her parents, who are Christians, said she can call any mosque in the world and will be provided with security, if her advisers from New York or her specially trained dog cannot protect her.

Two things. First, the involved parties must be in need of cash.
Second, if Brawley is now a muzzl’em, she should be stoned to death or lashed to death for being raped. Whoever raped her should be told not to do that again for a while.
major barf!!
Truth measured in $$$$$
She wants a "do-over"!
Does this remind anyone else of AlphaGore's attempt to FORCE the presidency?
...fish rots from the head down...and all that...
Good luck reopening that can of worms. Any prosecutor that would touch that case has rocks in his head the size of Gibraltar. A bunch of people wound up under the wheels of the bus on that one. Sharpton and an couple of his buddies lost a defamation case on that little caper.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Probably too many bills to pay and not enough cash coming into the ole homestead.
Yeah, 20 years later we’re going to get the truth alright. Jes. If you can’t convince a grand jury, it’s done, for good.
” her specially trained dog cannot protect her”.
She’s got a mistreated Pit Bull chained up in the front yard.
She’s out of the spotlight?
Addressing that 'insufficient funds' notice from the "Justice for Tawana" fund?
So does that mean Brawley & Sharpton could actually be prosecuted this time?
Follow the money. It was pouring into coffers of Sharpton and the Brawleys back in the days. Even Bill Cosby gave to the cause. But Andrew Cuomo is AG now and since his dad was the governor who eventually closed down the extortionists, I doubt this will get much traction.
Sounds like it. Scum of a feather flock together.
Hopefully Spitzer will accomodate these nuts.
Buckwheat turned muslum as well now he is kareem o wheat
