NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Five of six black teens accused of beating a white high school classmate in a case that led to the biggest civil rights protest in decades will plead guilty in a deal expected to be finalized this week, Louisiana court officials involved with the case told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The six students were initially charged with attempted murder in the 2006 attack on Justin Barker and became known as the "Jena Six," after the town where the beating took place.

Charges against Carwin Jones, Jesse Ray Beard, Robert Bailey Jr., Bryant Purvis and Theo Shaw were reduced to aggravated second-degree battery.

(fuming once again)

How many posts before the moderators are forced to pull this thread ‘cause of the comments here? I don’t blame the moderators... but some of the things I’d want to say wouldn’t exactly play well on the O’Reilly show...

Blacks skate with a pre-meditated brutal beating of a white after sealing off the area to teachers/police by alleging racism. Wow, color me surprised.

Let's try out the new "Hate Crime" laws on them.

Oh yeah.

They're Black.

They're not capable of a "Hate Crime".

Sorry.

Based on the Duke LAX non-event coverage, they would have gotten needles before they even got to trial.

But since these are People Of Color, they get the kid gloves treatment.

Look I apologize but this is wearing thin very thin with the ACORN BS and the Racist Government that is in place now.

6 whites who beat up and try to kill a black person is a "lynch mob".

6 blacks who beat up and try to kill a white person is a "civil rights protest".

The white man is weak. No one units or riots like Al Sharpton in kin, because we believe the justice system is blind and does work.

I hope the young man’s family files a civil lawsuit against these 6 and gets every crack dollar that was sent to them from all over the country.

I remember this case...

Don't you remember all the white people rioting and shouting “Kill them niggers” and the DA threatening them with the full extent of the law unless they confessed to their crimes? And the evidence they hid that would have exonerated them? Remember?

Oh wait..

It was black people and a liberal democrat DA talking about the INNOCENT white duke lacrosse players

LITTLE KNOWN: In the Duke LaCrosse case, people in the trial audience REGULARLY and OPENLY told the family members of the accused that they would soon be murdered.

Sometimes the cops acknowledged hearing these threats, and still did NOTHING...

If anybody’s following this, can you please ping me when the verdict comes in?

I've got a liquor store and an electronics store all scoped out, and I'm just boiling over with rage... or ebullience.

We should work together. I got a NIKE store and a Popeyes Fried Chicken ready to be hit.
