"JENA 6"To the Honorable Kathleen Blanco, Governor of the State of Louisiana and Mr.Charles C. Foti, Jr., Louisiana Attorney General:We register our outrage and object to the wrongful conviction of Mychal Bell for aggravated battery and conspiracy for the following reasons. Mychal Bell, who is African American, was convicted by an all white jury in a racially charged case. Mychal Bell's public defender did not put on any evidence and did not call any witnesses. Moreover, the aggravated battery charge was unwarranted since the alleged assailant did not use any dangerous weapon. A tennis shoe is not a deadly weapon. There was conflicting testimony regarding whether Mychal Bell was involved in the incident in question. Mychal Bell's parents were not allowed in the court room during the trial. Mychal Bell faces a potential 22 year sentence in prison.We urge you to investigate and monitor the criminal cases against the Jena Six (Mychal Bell, Bryan Purvis, Theo Shaw, Carwin Jones, Robert Bailey Jr., and "John Doe"). All citizens should be entitled to equal treatment under the law.
