Open And And Shut

I don't blame Roscoe Dixon, and his attorney Coleman Garrett. They are just doing what anyone facing jail time would. That would be anything in their power, to stay out of jail. They are using every trick in the book. Trying to play this thing out. This is just a prelude of things to come. There are five other defendants, in the same predicament. They have tapes and serial numbers of marked bills, to prove the cases against everyone that has been charged. It's all just a matter of going through the motions, at this point. When they didn't plead guilty, like the other politicians involved. I knew we were in for a long and wild ride.

I guess we are just supposed to overlook what our eyes have seen. They have a lot of these people, on tape taking money. To divert our attention from the real issue. The fact that they took money for us to see. Somehow this has turned into a race issue. I don't see where being Black has anything to do with taking bribes. Even though all the defendants are Black and were implicated by Blacks. They tried to get this kicked out based on selective prosecution. The implication was they were singling out Black politicians. Even though two of the people charged were white. How does that translate to discrimination? Whatever happens to Roscoe Dixon, will be a look into the future. Whatever happens to him is just the beginning. Those who follow him will get more of the same. Being the first one to go to trial, he is at a disadvantage himself. The others can use his trial as an example to follow, in their own trials. Considering the fact we are even having this discussion is alarming. There are those who attempt to defend this behavior. This should be open and shut, but I don't know.
