I do not know the legal process but it seems like two years is a long time for something this heinous to come to trial.
Most rape cases never make it to the trial stage so this is good. If the other punks get ratted out in the process all the better. It’s just a shame that they threw their lives away for a few moments. You know what happens to rapists in prison!!! I hope the mother and child are getting the help they need and not hiding in shame.
It will be interesting to see who (among the black powers that be) will come out in support of the true victims.
It’s a long time coming, but what about the other six assailants? That only says four; have the others been arrested?
I really hope this woman and her son gets justice and these psychos are put behind bars for good. I shudder at these folks getting older and being on the street to prey on other innocent people.
I sincerely hope the prosecutors trying the cases don’t make any major errors. I also hope that the foolishness of the NAACP, NAN, etc. doesn’t rear its head during these proceedings. I’m thinking I may wan to travel to WPB for opening arguments.
I wanna see those little monsters and their wretched families with my own two eyes.
I hope that justice is served. And I hope that the WPB NAACP and NAN don’t interfere.
I honestly am in shock that the case made it to trial. I swear if it wasn’t for this blog this case would have been bottom shelf paper bag down there in Florida.
Wow…
This is just the beginning. I will be watching to see how this case is handled. I want to see how both sides handle their courtroom business.
The family deserves justice. I don’t want to hear nothing about the perps getting a break. So I will be keeping tuned.
It’s about damn time. Heard about this story a while ago and of course it was underreported.
Lock them up and throw away the key.
Just shared this on Facebook to make others aware of this story. Thanks for the update.
