Brawley, now 25 and called Maryam Muhammad, appeared after 10-year silence at a Brooklyn rally the night before her advisors' trial began to insist once more that her charges are true.

Her case was ultimately thrown out in 1988 when a grand jury determined that her story was not credible. Justice S. Barrett Hickman of the New York State Supreme Court has allowed that report to be included as evidence in the current trial.

On July 13, 1998, after a trial lasting almost eight months, a jury found the three advisors liable for defaming Pagones.

Just over two weeks later, on July 29, the jury awarded Pagones $345,000 in damages, about two percent of the amount he originally sought. Sharpton was found liable for $65,000 of the total damages, Maddox for $95,000 and Mason for $185,000.

The state we're in today, where any black individual can claim all kinds of malfeasance, no matter how preposterous as long as the accused is white, is the direct result of political correctness.

Thank you very much, liberals, you jackasses.

The case would have been dismissed or continued if not for the trumped up rape charges. Then some anonymous 'tipster' posted on Wonkette a sighting of Finnerty at some DC party which would have been in violation of court orders. DC Judge Bayley was made aware of the Wonkette post and questioned Finnerty's attorneys in court. Who was the anonymous poster and who tipped off the DC prosecutor and/or judge?

That scummy little b*t*h Brawley dragged decent men's reputations through the mud. One of the accused, Steve Pagones, sued her and her demon minions, Sharton, Maddox and Mason, but a numbnuts jury gave him next to nothing. The stress broke up his marriage. I live near Wappingers Falls and I'll never forget what she put this community through, her and her pig lawyers.

I was refering to far too many converts to Islam. Criminals like Brawley are attracted to Islam because they perceive it as an aggressive Anti-Christian alternative.

As to the case of "beating up an older gay man," the local media reported that he never touched the man nor was the man gay.

The Amsterdam News, a black newspaper, printed the name of the rape victim.

I reminded Cash Michaels of that and asked why he didn't print Crystal's name. He didn't appreciate the question. LOL

Anytime you see rape and stripper/prostitute in the same sentence, you should AUTOMATICALLY be suspicious.

Investigate fully before even thinking of making any charges. This, of course, didn't happen.

According to Kim, the other stripper, Crystal called the white guys "limp ____ white boys" who had to pay for 'it' in order to get anything.

Why do you want to believe the lacrosse guys started the name calling?

A stripper can charge $200 for just showing up then gets a bunch of tips. She splits the fee with an agency then does her thing for an hour or more depending on the cash. It is possible for a girl to make up to a grand a night if she does a few parties. Tips do not get reported.

Speaking of liberal jackasses, how about:

88 members of the faculty "issued a statement in April saying 'thank you' to the protesters who had branded the players rapists."

When the next semester starts in January, can I assume these exalted secular holies will issue an apology? Never mind.

For those who think history does not repeat, consider the following. In medieval times, status trumped the rule of law, ie the king could do no wrong. Our constitution reversed that by establishing a supreme law of the land applicable to Presidents as well as the newest immigrant.

The left wants to revert to "class" justice, where the rule of law is replaced by the barbarism of status as defined by the barbaric left. God help us.

He was running in an election and appeared to seize the opportunity to display his anti-racist credentials for the benefit of black and liberal voters.
It worked and he won re-election.

Wrong..he was elected. He was previously appointed by the (D) governor of the state, and had never stood election before.
Doubtless never will again, if there are two functioning brain cells per voter in my state...

"Does anyone think that a white stripper with all the same credibility problems that this one had, could convince any DA to bring a rape charge without corroborating evidence?"

Sure! Against a conservative midget jew with a water bucket that he threw over her head and swung from the handle. Imagine the publicity opportunities.

I thought maybe they were one and the same. We still do not know the Duke accusers name. I guess she will be a new Muslim as well. In the ROP she would probably have been stoned or hanged, considering that she is of ill repute!
