Jena Six

[Chris Grieb]

It is being reported that the jailed member of Jena Six has agreed to a plea bargain. Among other items in the agreement is he will testify against his co-defendants.

I await the apologies from all those who have called a case of racism and worst.

I am not holding my breathe.

I should also note that this defendant will only have sentence of time served and the defendant is not charge with attempted.

Here is an interesting article on the matter:

From the Christian Science Monitor "Media myths about the Jena 6" by Craig Franklin, who is a local journalist. Makes the point that the whole affair was blown out of proportion.

The Reason blog Hit & Run has link to this article and an article disagreeing with the first.

I want to empasize that this is a good outcome. The people of the community need to deal with this problem.
