You need to brace yourselves, criminal rights activists and coddlers are going to be using the Dunbar Village predators as poster children for the a movement that says the violent amoral predatory teens should be allowed to rape torture and otherwise brutalize the old, the young, and the female and roam free on account of their age.

Dunbar Village Rapists Get LIFE- Spectators LAUGH at Victim During Sentencing
October 13th, 2009 — Dunbar Village, Dunbar Village Trial
“I can only believe that none of you gentleman ever developed any moral code….” Marx said. “And I have no confidence that if you are shipped off to the Department of Corrections you will find a moral compass there.” Judge Krista Marx
And with that, the judge sentenced the Dunbar Village rapists, Tommy Poindexter, Nathan Walker Jr. and Jakaris Taylor to life in prison. What stuck out to me in the aritcle however, was this passage about the reaction in the crowd to the victim’s impact statement:
But Prosecutor Aleathea McRoberts read a letter written by her to Marx that described her life since the assault, her lingering pain and her most private thoughts.
She wrote of her anxiety, anger, sadness, of her son wanting to take a knife to school, of being the only one he can talk to about it. And how she’s terrified to go out in public and terrified of men with tattoos and dreadlocks.
A group of young men seated with the defendants’ families chuckled as the letter was read.Palm Beach Post
WOW. Just WOW! Watch the chaos that broke out after the verdicts.
Stephens video: Living there was fine but Dunbar lost ‘village mentality’
August 29th, 2009 — Dunbar Village
Karen Stephens with clients at her Karma Studio.
C.B. Hanif for WAOD:
Karen Stephens is a University of Florida graduate, accomplished theater professional, childrens’ advocate and popular beautician who owns her own business in West Palm Beach.
She also grew up in Dunbar Village, in a time of which she has fond memories.
She offers another slice of insight on that community — and the larger community — in which two African-American youths were convicted Friday of incomprehensible sexual attacks against a Haitian mother and son.
Stephens is a UF theatre graduate who has worked professionally as an actress for 27 years in the South Florida community.
She recently was honored by the Delta Sigma Theta sorority with their Women of Excellence Award, which biannually recognizes outstanding women in their fields ranging from humanitarian to social action — and in her case, 2009 honoree for the arts.
“I have been fortunate enough to work with at-risk youth, with performance and acting workshops,” she said. “I’ve gone into the Florida Institute for girls, which is the girls prison, and also the Juvenile Detention Center.
“I’ve worked with the Kravis Center of the Performing Arts on a couple of projects where they commissioned a play to be written for their student programs, and I’ve directed a couple of those.
“And right now I’m directing a short skit from the play “Spunk!” by Zora Neale Hurston, for Delta Sigma Theta’s Performance Showcase Youth in the Arts Salute to the Harlem Renaisssance.”
Stephen has performed at every theater around — the Caldwell Theater, Actors Playhouse in Miami, what used to be Florida Repertory Theater and now is the Cuillo Theatre, the Royal Palm Dinner Theater, and through the years at Florida Stage when it was an educational theatre going into the schools before becoming a regional theater
Among her many memorable roles that still have locals buzzing was “House With No Walls.” Based on real-life events, it dealt with the dynamics of activists in Philadelphia challenging corporate entities over the city building a museum on the site of George Washington’s former slave quarters. The museum was built — with a square left open denoting where the actual slave quarters were.
“African-Americans didn’t want that history buried, literally buried,” she said.
Another was her one-woman show “The Life and Times of Zora Neale Hurston, Loquacious and Bodacious.”
She also did “Out of the Box,” an autobiographical piece about what it’s like as a black woman growing up in America.
“I call it ‘Out of the Box,’ because, it seems like in America, once you check the box that’s marked race, whatever you check you’re thereby defined by that box, and you’re limited, or not limited, as the case may be by what you check.”
She describes her childhood in the box that now is Dunbar Village, in these first video installments of an August 22 interview she provided WAOD at her Karma Studio in West Palm Beach.

WAOD Reader Responds to Vanessa Lee “Teacher-of the Year-NOT”
August 28th, 2009 — Dunbar Village, Dunbar Village Trial, Uncategorized
For the past 24 hours our eyes have been assaulted by the deluded rantings of Vanessa Lee, daughter of Maude Ford Lee. Vanessa Lee is a truly a demented soul who in the course of one interview has defamed the victim by implying that the victim “was not innocent,” in addition, Ms. Lee Blamed the victim for not “conforming” to the “ways” of Dunbar Village.
- Lee: ‘I don’t think being Haitian has anything to do with’ Dunbar attack
- More from alternative teacher on Dunbar Village case and community
- Lee: Dunbar Village victim not as innocent as believed to be
I have not intervened in the roll-out of Vanessa Lee’s interview, because I think it important for all the world to see the seething anti-Black-woman hatred oozing from the pores of Ms. Lee. I think now many of you understand how the Dunbar Village suspects ended up with such professional quality fliers at that rally thrown by Ms. Lee’s Mama, Maude.
I cannot respond to Ms. Lee’s fantastical thinking any better than WAOD reader, LaJane Gault. IN addition, I have a more than sneaking suspicion that Ms. Lee, or the person at the computer next to her at work, has been interacting with WAOD readers in the comments section under another name. Therefore, I conclude with LaJane’s passionate response.
Gina, all, please accept my apologies for the next comment. I am so disgusted my teeth are set on edge.
I feel the need to shout.IF THE SYSTEM IS SO G.D. CORRUPT, WHY NOT AVOID IT. YOU DON’T HAVE TO POUR BLEACH ON A WOMAN’S GENITALS. YOU DON’T HAVE TO FORCE A CHILD TO PERFORM ACTS ON HIS MOTHER AT GUNPOINT.
THE MONEY ISSUE IS LEGALLY IRRELEVANT. SHE IS NOT ON TRIAL FOR BAD CHECKS; SHE AND HER SON ARE THE VICTIMS OF A BRUTAL GANG RAPE. BRINGING IT UP IS A VIOLATION OF HER CIVIL RIGHTS AND IS UNJUST. YOU HAVE THE GALL TO MOAN ABOUT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND PUT THE RAPE VICTIM ON TRIAL IN THE SAME BREATH
and you attempt to humor this blog by deigning to acknowledge that “something” happened.
Your apathy towards this black woman, perversion and pimping of justice when it suits your purpose sickens me to the point of utter contempt for not only you, but your organization.
You want to talk about yt folks i.e., the power structure that marches are designed to persuade? I grew up around yt folks let me explain to you how the targets of your begging see you. Dunbar Village is one incident that is part of a larger pattern that has serious implications for blacks – the underclass in particular. As this pertains to someone so concerned, I suggest you take heed.
>>Those that know are horrified by what they know about crime in black hoods.
They see marches: for programs, no justice no peace. They don’t see you marching against criminals. They don’t see you Taking Back the Night.
They see your version of justice as centered around some dude with a rap sheet built on black pain. They DON’T see you screaming for justice for ACTUAL CRIME VICTIMS.
It’s not that they necessarily think the justice system is infallible ( oj
). It’s just that they see “stop snitchin” instead of “we want justice so we’re marching for better police protection of our witnesses.”
They don’t see the emotionalism about the victim. Moreover, they don’t see rage directed toward the perpetrators. They don’t see the perp’s mom walking with her head down and avoiding cameras (like normal folk do). They don’t see shame.
It is really quite perplexing.
So they figure that black people really don’t care about themselves. If black folks don’t care, why the hell should they.
Maybe they blame “black culture”; maybe they blame “genetics”. As you are concerned about the white power structure, be concerned about this:
Then they enact zoning, loitering, planning laws that keep black folks from economic life, politically-contained and -most importantly- the hell away from them.
Yeah, I went there. I live in a gentrifying city and look at the big picture. I hate the stark economic disparities I see. But, I hate Nathan Walkers even more and would do everything to keep them the hell away from me.
As the demographics are a changing, your guilt account is running low and does not work on newer Americans. Imagine how these rapists treat Mr. Kim the storeowner, who does not have the collective memory that a sane white person would have. Note, that in many political districts (like So. Florida for example) black folks are losing political clout (zoning’s a bitch ain’t it). The replacements are Latin or Asian, people who don’t have the collective memory (or yt guilt). But they do share the sordid present and have experienced unchecked dysfunction. When they lobby and vote, they will go by what the see and experience.
You can’t beg people to treat you like you’re human when you explicitly or implicitly support, condone, or ignore savagery. You can’t beg for justice, when you are not only unjust…but are downright cruel.
The choice is yours.
Dunbar Village juries separately due to begin deliberations this morning
August 28th, 2009 — Dunbar Village
The Dunbar Village gang-rape trial is expected to be in the hands of the separate juries for Tommy Poindexter and Nathan Walker sometime early today.
Prosecutors seemed confident of the evidence they have presented in the state’s case, yet a little nervous.
After final defense witnesses, such as Walker’s mother Ruby, the summations included Williams’ pointed — and with repeated two-handed pointing at Poindexter — accusation to the jury that “He’s guilty as sin.”
The jury will have to reconcile the attorneys’ competing claims that they must have exact evidence of who did what to find the defendants guilty (Poindexter’s Public Defender Carey Haughwout) or conclude all are guilty of everything based on evidence showing they were present and involved (the point at times animatedly made by Williams).
At 8:30 the judge is due to define for the first jury, then the second, the correct legal basis for conviction.
Then the case is in their hands.
As has repeatedly been heard stated in the courtroom, and the halls outside, these past two weeks: “All it takes is one (holdout) juror to deep-six the case and accomplish the mistrial for which Walker attorney Robert Gershman has moved on several occasions throughout the trial while, undoubtedly looking to lay basis for appeal.
C.B. Hanif for WAOD:
The Dunbar Village gang-rape trial is expected to be in the hands of the separate juries for Tommy Poindexter, 20, and Nathan Walker, 18, sometime early today.
After their closing arguments, prosecutors seemed confident of the evidence they have presented in the state’s case, yet a little apprehensive, perhaps due to the inability of the victim to identify the faces of any of the masked attackers in the brutal attack two years ago on her and her son.
After final defense witnesses Thursday, such as Walker’s mother Ruby, the summations included Assistant State’s Attorney Craig Williams’ pointed — and with repeated two-handed pointing at Poindexter — accusation to the jury that “He’s guilty as sin.”
The seperate juries, for the defendants being tried simultaneously, will have to reconcile the attorneys’ competing claims that they must have exact evidence of who did what in order to find the teenagers guilty (Poindexter’s Public Defender Carey Haughwout), or conclude that all are guilty of their more than 10 charges based on evidence that they were present and involved (the point at times animatedly made by Williams).
There always was the possibiliy that the juries in the joint trial might reach divergent conclusions.
Circuit Court Judge Krista Marx is due to define for the first jury, then the second, the correct legal basis for conviction.
Then the case of the two African-American teens is in the all-white juries’ hands.
As has repeatedly been heard stated in the courtroom, and the halls outside, these past two weeks:
“All it takes is one” (holdout) juror to deep-six the state’s case, and accomplish the mistrial for which Walker attorney Robert Gershman has moved on several occasions throughout the trial while, undoubtedly looking to lay basis for appeal.
Avion Lawson, one of the four teens arrested in the case, testified for the state as part of a plea deal aimed at lowering the life sentences they all face.
The trial for another, Jakaris Taylor, is due to begin next in September.
During his testimony, Lawson identified Melvin Young and Augustus Fontaine as two of the 10 participants the mother said attacked her and her son but who have not been charged.
(As much as possible, WAOD will continue to be on Twitter (cbhanif) from the courtroom and courthouse.)

Lee: ‘I don’t think being Haitian has anything to do with’ Dunbar attack
August 27th, 2009 — Dunbar Village, Dunbar Village Trial, Uncategorized
Do you think the victims being Haitian was a factor?
“I don’t think so because if I’m correct, when Haitians started really coming in here…most of them came to the projects. Most of these little gang groups, who is that, aren’t they Haitian too? That’s a Haitian name, ‘Poindexter.’
“Even today, Haitian kids have learned to blend in a lot better than their parents when their parents came.
I don’t think being Haitian has anything to do with it.
But there’s also a turf thing, you know like an initiation kind of thing. So they had to learn to conform to the ways of the projects. And maybe they went against that went against the grain. And I’m not saying she was wrong for that. But she was on a battle she could not win. She thought she was gonna come in with her little ways. (But) if you’re going to be in Dunbar Village you gotta do it the Dunbar Village way or you gotta leave.”

Dunbar Village a hate crime? No, says new state rep, attorney, Haitian
August 27th, 2009 — Dunbar Village, Dunbar Village Trial
C.B. Hanif for WAOD:
Mackenson “Mack” Bernard, the newly minted (in Tuesday’s special election) member of Florida’s House of Representatives for largely African-American District 84, which includes Dunbar Village in West Palm Beach, said the heinous attack on a Haitian mother and son there two years ago was “atrocious.”
But the state was right not to designate it a hate crime, said the University of Florida law school grad, who had to learn English when he arrived to the U.S. from Haiti at age 10 in 1986.
“I dont think that there’s a specific federal guideline” that would apply, he added. A response from federal officials is awaited on that.
As an attorney, and in the post he is leaving as Delray Beach city commissioner, did he have to deal with issues of disconnect between Haitians and the larger African-America community?
“Actually, I didn’t have to deal with it as much because, in the city of Delray Beach people have come together,” he said. “They’re very close in the city of Delray Beach.”
Has he experienced anti-Haitian bias in his political and professional life?
“Some bloggers were saying I couldn’t be elected because I was Haitian,” he said. “That’s why we have to work on the community. We have to come together as a community and work on making it better for everyone.”
Coming in fom Haiti, he said, “What I had to learn was to assimilate into society as quickly as possible, so that way I would not feel like I was different. Instead I was going to school trying to get an education.”
As for the intermitent conflict between Haitian and other African-American schoolkids:
“It is getting better but it is something that, with regard to the gangs and the kids not getting along, it’s not just an issue on the African-American side, it is an issue on the Haitian side. Everyone has to pretty much do their part to bring both sides together. Because we’re all on this earth together. We have to make it through and make our community safe.”
He’s still recovering from a whirlwind six-week special election campaign. Priscilla Tayor, the former District 84 representative, supported Bernard’s election to the seat after accepting Gov. Charlie Crist’s appointment to the Palm Beach County Commission.
Together, they could prove a formidible force for change on matters relating to Dunbar Village.
In the past Taylor hosted a forum in which she challenged West Palm Beach Housing Authority Director Laurel Robinson’s performance in managing the federal housing development.

More from alternative teacher on Dunbar Village case and community
August 27th, 2009 — Dunbar Village
C.B. Hanif for WAOD:
Vanessa Lee, Avion Walker’s former teacher, worked seven years in alternative education in Palm Beach County.
Through her teaching work, her involvement in various youth services programs and living here, she came to know many youths such as those facing life sentences in the horrific Dunbar Village gang-rape trial.
An interview with her provided another slice of perspective on the case and the community.
Now living in Texas, Lee “just finished my B.A. in March in behavioral science psychology, and I just started working on my masters in mental health counseling.”
She once worked “at Sabal Palm, the alternative education school for kids on the north end” of West Palm Beach. “Other kids were going to Roosevelt,” an alternative school several blocks from Dunbar Village.
“They closed Sabal Palm,” she said, and she moved to the Gold Coast Academy alternative school Lawson, who testified this week as part of a plea deal in the trial of Dunbar Village co-defendants Tommy Poindexter and Nathan Walker, attended.
At the time, “I questioned putting all these kids from Riviera Beach and West Palm Beach, Tamarind (Avenue), who were having problems, in the same school,” Lee said.
“Not only that, you have 6th grade girls who can be 11 or 12, with boys who could be 19, in the same school.”
Her sense is that with these children, “The whole problem is that people want to give an antidote, and they don’t even understand the problem.’
“When I was a child, it used to be that the only thing that I had to do was go to school.
“Latchkey kids used to be 11” years old. “Now you know we got black latchkey kids, six, seven and eight years old, who have to come home and take care of themselves and make adult-like decisions.
“So then you want that child to come to school and be a child.”

Dunbar Village victim’s grueling testimony: suffering voiced in detail
August 26th, 2009 — Dunbar Village
Local cameramen gearing up.
C.B. Hanif for WAOD:
Both the victim and an admitted participant in the violent Dunbar Village sexual assault testified today that none among the assailants, and any time, said “Stop.”
The highlight of the trial of two who have been charged came when a mother described how she and her son were forced by gun-toting teens to perform sex acts, including on each other.
Weearing dark glasses, dressed a white lace suit, with a strong Creole accent, the 37-year-old mother voiced the lurid details that have roiled passions in the community, around the country and around the world for two years:
“The one who had sex with me first and make me suck his penie (sic), and the other had sex with me in my anus.”
Then, she said, a different two assailants did the same.
“Did the six of them have sex with you either in your anus or your vagina?” questioned Assistant State’s Attorney Arleathea McRoberts.
“Yes.”
Were they calling you names?
“They kept calling me a ‘bitch’ ” — and threatening to kill her if she did not comply, or if she or her son reported them to the police.
Was anyone laughing?
“All of them.”
Prior to her afternoon testimony, 16-year-old Avion Lawson already had testified for the state to much of what she said, in a plea deal admittedly aimed at lightening his sentence.
He personified the youths’ unthinkable trespass.
She personified her suffering.
He had talked of the grisly steps taken by the youths in an attempt to hide their crime.
She spoke of her agony in experiencing them: Liquid alcohol “in my rectum.” Ammonia in her and her son’s eyes. A bar of soap forced inside her.
She cited transgressions that have elicited outrage and prayers. The chemicals poured with intent to set her afire, except no lighter was found.
“They made you get on your knees and suck (your son’s) penis?” “Yes.”
They attempted to force her to have sex with her son.
“He didn’t want to stay on top of me. I told him to please stay down, cuz they will kill us.”
Several times during her testimony and cross-examination, she seemed close to breaking down. As when Public Defender Carey Haughwout, attempting to shift blame from her tall-ish client, defendant Tommy Poindexter, repeatedly queried her about the “shorter person with the big gun who tore your clothes off.”
“I just said he was the shorter…I can’t remember,” the woman said. After Haughwout pressed, the woman paused, placed a hand on her bosom, and while receiving water from a sheriff’s deputy, took two minutes or more to compose herself.
At times later she became almost combative. As when she told Haughwout:
“You want me to remember everything. I have been suffering for two years now. I am tired to remember everything.”
Or when she more than once told Robert Gershman, attorney for co-defendant Nathan Walker, that when they met during her depositions in May, “You were twisting every word that I said.”
It took her a couple of minutes to leave the witness stand. She moved slowly, gingerly, assistant by several sheriff deputies.
It evoked their gruesome walk to a hospital, and the lingering pain she told of her and her battered son suffering.
It also evoked the two years that it took prosecutors to bring a case against any of the assailants.
Meanwhile two participants whom Lawson named in his testimony, Melvin Young and Gus Fontaine, have not been charged. Yet.
Officials respond to questions about the two and other alleged assailants by saying their investigation is ongoing.
Their evidence may not be, raising questions about other bases for legal action.
In the morning, West Palm Beach Police officer Dave LaFont is due to finish his and the prosecution’s testimony, citing Poindexter’s confession pointing blame at 17-year-old Jakaris Taylor, who will be tried in September.
Fingerprint expert Jack McCall and court reporter wait as Judge Krista Marx, Assistant State's Attorney Craig Williams and Nathan Walker attorney Robert Gershman confer.
On the defense side, Gershman lost his bid to bring evidence aimed at discrediting the woman. But he plans to call her former boyfriend to testify, as well as Walker’s mother.
It is not known whether Haughwout will call witnesses.
That suggests closing arguments Thursday or Friday.
The case then goes to the two separate juries who have observed the evidence presented.
Jurors could do the heavily lifting to sort out whether these first two to be tried is guilty, and if so to what degree.
Jurors also could decide all are guilty, of everything.
Testimony of victims due when Dunbar Village juries reconvene
August 26th, 2009 — Dunbar Village
C.B. Hanif for WAOD:
Avion Lawson’s Walker’s testimony concluded with Robert Gershman, attorney for Nathan Walker, trying to establish, as he told this reporter, that all his client had “was a blow job.”
Walker replied “Correct,” to a series of quick questions to the effect that Nathan never kidnapped, or inserted his penis in, or stuck a gun in anus of, or used a condom with, or had a condom, or hit mother, or son, correct?
“In fact, the only gun associated with Nathan is the one (co-defendant Tommy Poindexter) pointed at Nathan, correct?”
“Correct.”
On redirect examination, Assistant State’s Attorney Aleathea McRoberts added:
“You never did much of what Mr. Gershman said either, did you?”
“No ma’am.”
Gersham, said later, explaining is strategy, “I simply didn’t ask about the oral sex” that Lawson yesterday testified Walker and several others forced the victim to perform.
The state hopes Lawson’s testimony, the first by any of the participants, helps convict the two co-defendants in this first trial in the heinous attack on the mother and her son two years ago.
Lawson hopes his testimony yields him less than a life sentence on the 14 counts to which he pleaded guilty in agreeing to testify.
The end of his testimony earned the Walker jury an early lunch, before they and Poindexter’s jury return to hear testimony from the victims.
Asked about it, Gershman said: “I don’t think the mother’s testimony will good for her, for the defense. Although she can’t identify anyone, listening to the incident I think will be negative.”
Before the break, Gershman also provided case law that he hopes will convince Circuit Court Judge Krista Marx to let him introduce evidence aimed at challenging the mother’s credibility.
Among the defense witnesses, he plans to call the mother’s boyfriend.
Poindexter’s attorney, Public Defender Carey Haughwout, also is expected to call defense witnesses at some point.
