How Can Deauntae Receive Justice Now

It has been four months now, and the results of the investigation surrounding the shooting death of Deauntae Farrow haven't been released to the public yet. The mother, and the local and West Memphis branches, of the activist organization NAN, have proposed a three point plan requesting that the report be released. The families former attorney "Javier Bailey" was noticeably absent from the press conference , along with others who were initially involved. Last time I saw them all together, he was suing West Memphis Ark. for 139 million dollars. Based on what I saw today, I guess that plan didn't pan out. I think the family has opted for what they think will be more national exposure, to bring attention to their plight. I don't think it would have made a big difference even in the beginning though. Americans won't allow their sentiments to be held hostage anymore. You better not give them a reason to write you off. When is the last time you heard about the Sean Bell case? Exactly , you don't even remember who he is or what happened. To refresh your memory click on the link below : http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN2423013620070724

I have said from the very start, " if she gets out without owing anything, she'll be doing good." I based that assumption on the people that she was surrounding herself with, " birds of a feather flock together." An old saying, which doesn't often steer me wrong. So far I have called this thing just right. Justice probably won't come in the form of a big payday. If justice is truly knowing what happened and bringing this whole thing to a close, justice may be coming soon. If the report doesn't implicate anyone and squarely place the blame on the West Memphis police. I'm not so sure all the people waiting to hear the outcome, will consider it justice then . Do they just want closure, or does closure have a price attached? After he is dead; how can Deauntae receive justice now?

  2. Thanks for the heads up,if that's what it was meant to be. I don't usually comment on his blog. They don't want to hear anything other than what they've already decided is right. Needless to say we don't always agree.

    Ms. Farrow would do herself a favor by being quiet.

    I think you have a point. I watched the interview this morning on channel 3 with Alex Coleman and Marybeth Conley. Deborah Farrow and Greg Grant didn't help their cause in my opinion. It only confirmed for me,something I had always suspected. I know Greg Grant is a smooth talker, he charmed Ms. Farrow from the start.

    Who was she rolling her eyes at? The camera cut on her and I caught her.
