Mychael Bell, 17 who had spent 10 months in jail, over the corrupt racial legal system of Jena Louisna, was freed on bail on September 27, 2007. In the beginning Belly was going to be tried as an adult even though he was a juvenille, with support from people such as Rev. Al Sharpton, bloggers, and the thousands of protestors who descended on the town that he has never met, and BET 106 and Park, Michael was relegated to Juvenille Court, and was released on bail. The bail was said to be $45,000, which in my opinion was still a little excessive for a fight.
What they are going to these teens as a result of a fight is ridiculous, nevertheless when the same thing happened in Jena almost a year ago Justin Sloan, a white male, was charged with simple battery for his role in the fight and was put on probation, when he attacked black teens at a party.
Oh and did you hear that when a White man with a shotgun broke in to a store in Jena to rob it, and some black people disarmed him, they were charged with theft and the man was charged with nothing. - that's what I heard.
