Deaunta Who

The hype and public interest surrounding the death of Deaunta Farrow has all but disappeared. Even the family's appointed media advisor (Thaddeus Matthews) has toned down his baseless rhetoric. He was one of the first to label the accused policeman (Erik Sammis)a cold-blooded murderer. In addition to be the first to publicly reveal the officer's name. He hasn't written one of his biased accounts of what went on lately. That seems to be the extent of his contribution to the case. Posting and giving information according to his investigations on his blog. Making people wait to get an interview with the boy's mother might have backfired. After a week or so it wasn't front page news anymore. Opportunist Al Sharpton came to town and milked it media wise for what it was worth. When it was obvious it wouldn't get much national attention, Jesse Jackson didn't even bother to come. I initially had respect for his mother for exhibiting what I thought was a plea for justice, by asking everyone to wait for the results of the investigation. As it turns out she just didn't know what to say. The public interest seemed to wane once her attorney 'Javier Bailey' filed a lawsuit for 125 million dollars. Most people then became suspect of the mother's motives. Based on the few interviews I've seen her give. She doesn't come across as this scandalous mother trying to capitalize of the death of her son. She seems more like a deer blinded by the headlights. She doesn't know which way to turn. I'm sure she'll still end up getting something due to her loss. Whatever happens it'll be less than it could be, due to some of the choices she has made. I think she may be the victim of getting some bad advice.
