dennis kucinich wife

Charlotte Allen details the history of the Jena 6 case and the relative silence about outcome as the truth was revealed:

The Jena Six were supposed to be the new Scottsboro Boys, the nine black youths railroaded to death sentences by all-white juries in 1930s Alabama on charges of raping two white women.

But the best known of the Jena Six, Mychal Bell, appeared with his team of lawyers at the parish courthouse in this tiny Central Louisiana town of 3,000 on December 3 and pled guilty to second-degree battery, to intentionally inflicting serious bodily injury on another person. In doing so, Bellwho will turn 18 this month and who had repeatedly denied any involvement in the attackadmitted that on December 4, 2006, he hit 17-year-old Justin Barker from behind, slamming Barkers head against a concrete beam outside the dennis kucinich wife at Jena High School and knocking him unconscious, and that he then joined a group in stomping and kicking Barker in the head. Bell agreed to serve 18 months in juvenile custody for the offense and to testify truthfully concerning the involvement of the other five members of the Jena Six should their cases come to trial.
