Perhaps these are the only 3 Buzz wanted released, and I especially believe that he wanted the response to Eric Echols released. It is a poor attempt on Franklin's part to defuse the fury of so many people. Since Baker is running for Governor, I think the Craft case is a HUGE liability for him, and I'm sure somebody from the state AG's office is yelling at Buzzie, to fix this and fix this NOW. I KNOW they have received more complaints than just these 3, and it is a sheer continuance of the outright lies that have originated within the confines of the LMJC.

This amounts to slander. There were two women a few years ago who successfully sued their pastor for slander after he publicly accused them of being lesbians.<br /><br />Can anyone confirm whether or not this, in fact, occurred, or was this another, "my cousin's friend's nephew's roommate told me" kind of pieces of information. If it is true, why is this person not already included in the list of people served in Tonya Craft's lawsuit? I know that if that happened to me, that individual would be doing one of two things, contacting a defense lawyer or on their knees in front of every church and public venue in the county declairing themselves to be in the wrong and asking for the forgiveness of myself, God, and every person who might have heard the rumor.Lamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-88184076992756779372010-06-02T00:19:55.114-04:002010-06-02T00:19:55.114-04:00You see, the way I am perceiving this right now is...You see, the way I am perceiving this right now is that, with how lynchings occurred in the past, the true intent here was that if they failed to get Ms Craft to cave and take a plea deal, that a group of, or at least one, angry individual(s) would come and murder her. I'm not accusing the prosecutors or the Lambs of attempted murder. However, from what they have done and said, I am led to believe that once they realized she was not going to roll over and play dead, they wanted her dead, if not right away, put into prison for life (shut away so she couldn't expose them). They basically wanted her to be their Man in the Iron Mask.<br /><br />In order to accomplish this, they resorted to two things, character assassination and witness intimidation. What they have accused the defense of doing is what they are the ones, in fact, guilty of doing, and they did it publicly, and in a way that only the most naive of commoners and cold-hearted of public servents couldn't see.<br /><br />They browbeat Mr McDonald into committing purgery and filing what will ultimately be deemed a false police report (for his part in the arrest of Mr Echols). They were the first, second, and third through twenty-fifth to contact the media. They manufactured charges to prevent a potential defense witness from testifying or continuing his investigation (Mr Echols). They suborted pergured testimony from their witnesses. They lied to the judge about excuplatory evidence. They tried to use homophobia and racial prejudice to influence a jury. They acted in conjunction with an obviously biased judge to deny a defendant her Constitutional rights. They denied Mr Echols his right to a speedy trial by postponing it indefinitely. They lied left and right during the trial, most noticably during closing statements. They behaved attrociously during the trial. Then, when they lost, they issued statements denegrating the jury and the American judicial system, and lied, lied, lied their way through television interviews. At least the New York and Chicago big city political bosses of the 19th century did some good things for the wrong reasons. They did everything for the wrong reason, and still got it wrong. And they have the gall to say that the media was biased against them. Look at Newschannel Slime. Even when they report things that utterly crush the prosecutors here, they twist the story to seem like the prosecutors are still in the right. I would say they're like some of Lee's generals at Appomattox. They've been beaten, and there's absolutely no hope of winning, ever. Yet, they still want to keep on fighting. They're like some character on the Apprentice who's just royally screwed up a task, and saying, "It's not my fault." It's time the people of North Georgia point the finger at them and as a collective voice says, "You're fired."Lamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-82417601409145443192010-06-01T23:56:05.101-04:002010-06-01T23:56:05.101-04:00Anon June 1, 2010 10:36 PM, that's a very good...Anon June 1, 2010 10:36 PM, that's a very good analogy. However, I would extend it, the oil disaster which STILL unfolds in the Gulf was not just the fault of BP. It was all up and down and all around the chain of command and responsibility when it comes to who built and maintained that rig, from BP to the federal government regulatory agency that oversaw safety.<br /><br />Likewise, the disaster of a criminal justice system in LMJC is not just one person, or even one actor. It is a colleciton of people, agencies, and prominent members of the community. Anyone here ever study Southern history between the Civil War and World War II? How did lynchings occur? The common, Northern-influenced, cliche is that a white woman would be raped by a white man, and a bunch of white sheet-wearing hicks would get in a truck, drive around until they found a black guy, and then string him up. It was not that at all. It was nearly ALWAYS the press that caused the event. Here's how it usually went down:<br /><br />Something would happen that was perceived as a threat to society (a rape, a murder, a labor strike, an inter-racaial marriage, et cetera). The press would get wind of this and publish a report that was highly inflamatory, using information fed to them by local police after a very hasty and tertiary investigation. Acting upon that media report, citizens would gather in some public venue and publicly discuss the event. Acting upon the information provided, a suspect would be named and a kangaroo court-style trial would take place, where the increasingly-enraged, and often increasingnly-intoxicated, group would act as jury, with pretty much nobody acting as defense. The person would inevitably be found guilty, and the group would break up into smaller units to go out and find the individual now convicted, in their eyes, of the crime. Once caught, or if a suspect had already been taken into police custody, the crowd would re-assemble, take the "guilty" person, and hang him. It was not always some Black guy who got done up for the rape of some white woman. It was often white men who married a black woman, a black man who married a white woman, a white man thought to have murdered someone, or a black man thought to have murdered someone. In Florida there were lynchings where Cuban immigrants were lynched because of a labor strike at a cigar factory. The first man lynched in the Tampa area was an Englishman who was accused of having committing a crime against the daughter of a prominent local family, "the nature of which [was] too horrible to describe" in the newspaper. Remember, the klan, as much as I despite it and what it stood for, was rarely the driving force behind a lynching. It was almost always the public reacting to a newspaper report.<br /><br />See, that is why I have such disdain for Newschannel Slime. Their behavior in all of this, even their continued behavior, smacks of the same kind of mentality and utter-disregard for truth in order to garner more readers/viewers that caused hunderds, even thousands of innocent people to be victims of vigilante justice in the post-Civil War era.<br /><br />I am so proud of how far the South has come in the past 45 years. And, the behavior of people like Franklin and his willing accomplices (play on the book "Hitler's Willing Accomplices"), especially Franklin's Goebels (Newschannel Slime), simply infuriates me in how they are trying to take the South back to a time when nearly all political power rested in the hands of a few prominent families. The Wilsons have been acting as though they think they're the Wilkes, and Sandra Lamb wishes she could change her name to Scarlet. In reality, it is people like Rhett Buttler, Tonya Craft, who is the only one of them who has any real class or any real sense.Lamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-26668322865255059852010-06-01T22:36:24.805-04:002010-06-01T22:36:24.805-04:00The LMJC reminds me of the jokers running BP,we di...The LMJC reminds me of the jokers running BP,we didn't do anything wrong,how did this happen,what is going on,why is Obamba here,why is everyone so upset?What idiots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-74340997008202470852010-06-01T21:54:35.592-04:002010-06-01T21:54:35.592-04:00Great post as always.

Maybe if Mr. Sharpton or Mr. Jackson or perhaps the attorney himself from the NAACP takes a little trip south, "the bunch" might just have to go to plan B, which hopefully will be dropping the ridiculous charges against Mr. Echols.<br /><br />TKSTheresa Dentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545055458663475548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-85853820710845793172010-06-01T21:47:42.973-04:002010-06-01T21:47:42.973-04:00Bill, good post today, I've decided to start b...Bill, good post today, I've decided to start blogging too.

I surmise that Buzz is attempting to intimidate others from sending in complaints. Besides, I happen to know they received more than 2 letters from citizens... because I've sent several of the form letters myself. It appears that intimidation tactics aren't exclusively reserved for defendants, private investigators, members of the media (Melydia Clewell), or future jurists, but include any and all citizens of the community who dare to make waves for the DA or his underlings.

The other letter was from a gentleman in Washington state that specifically states he normally enthusiastically supports the prosectution in their efforts.<br />I guess in Mr. Madewell's rush to portray these letters from strictly "Craft supporters," he missed those simple facts. <br /><br />Madewell spins this story as well as Kevin Sims spun the interview with Butch, the juror, when he deliberately tried to mislead his viewing audience into believing that Butch had doubts about his not guilty decision. Then, suprise, surprise, when a completely different news entity has an interview with Butch, we find out that wasn't the case at all.<br /><br />Keep on spinning there Newschannel Slime, it's not like you have a reputation to risk or anything.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251480890361189802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-62783006748931593522010-06-01T19:17:28.793-04:002010-06-01T19:17:28.793-04:00I think I'm getting even more indignant after ...I think I'm getting even more indignant after the trial than during, if that is possible.Cyril Lucarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084426632079086253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-10810904458890523482010-06-01T19:17:17.772-04:002010-06-01T19:17:17.772-04:00To the AGO: I see no evil, I hear no evil, so the...To the AGO: I see no evil, I hear no evil, so therfore, there must not have been any evil.

It is obvious that Mr McDonald was not a willing participant in the case against Ms Craft and in the case against Mr Echols. In the end, Mr McDonald is one of the people who loses the most here. He was taken advantage of by the conspirators here, and unlike Ms Craft, he cannot sue. Instead, he can and likely will go to jail.

They can't seem to put themselves into the shoes of the "outsiders" who have NO AFFILIATION TO ANY OF US. It is not going to be Tonya, or the annoying bloggers who are going to determine the future of these people. It is the outsiders who will only look at the evidence or lack thereof. They will also draw character connections as they study the individuals involved. We all make these types of connections when we meet people....For example, we say,..."I've met men like him before...I know his TYPE." So the "history" of this case will not be determined locally. It will be studied in law schools by legal minds void of emotion. The same is true for the "future" of these men. I think it would benefit all involved if they would turn to someone disconnected with the case and seek sound guidance and for once turn off their emotional time bombs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-84731207899996133062010-06-01T16:17:09.820-04:002010-06-01T16:17:09.820-04:00LOL Anon 3:18.

Not sure why but she does.<br /><br />Now, Bill, penguins might be sweet looking, helpless creatures and are portrayed so in a bunch of cartoons but believe me, we do want to send Arnt, Gregor, and all associated with this mess down to confront a penguin herd. The minute they start in on all their bogus stuff they pulled in Tonya's trial, especially the man (lower case on purpose) about thongs, those seemingly innocent birds will attack in mass. That's not so pretty a sight. Way back in the early nineties, a photography crew made a mistake while taking photos of the herd they were observing. All anyone found of that crew were a couple of lens pieces and some clothing bits. Anyone willing to contribute to tickets from Miami to Punta Arenas, Chile for these folks?KC Sprayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090961846554719289noreply@blogger.com
