Get On The Bus

Yet another chapter has been added to Deaunta Farrow saga. The Arkansas supreme court is reviewing the case again to see if it warrants a special investigator and a special grand jury. It was determined that the biased Judge did have the right to request a special hearing. You can stick a fork in a electrical socket, but should you? Are we going to just keep going until we get a different verdict? When someone says that all the others were wrong, their decision is going to be appealed as well. The whole cycle starts over again.

I already see who's going to benefit from this latest idea. I wonder will this trip be free? If area churches donate their buses, the ride shouldn't cost anything. The people in the capital city are going to get a little tired of so many protesters from West Memphis. A planned rally of about 1000 is going to petition the supreme court to reopen the case for "The West Memphis Three" today. It will be interesting to see how many people get on the bus.

  1. Only a couple of hundred showed up for the "West Memphis Three". Even with a celebrity getting involved.

  4. I heard that Alonzo Grant would come to you and get your money. That doesn't sound like they're filling up the buses.

  5. Today is the 21st of January. We have three days before the suprememe court hearing. Based on the aggressive nature of advertising. They haven't had much success with filling the ten buses.

    AR Supreme Court Says No Extra Grand Jury for West Memphis Shooting

    Last Update: 9:29 am

    LITTLE ROCK (AP) -- The Arkansas Supreme Court says a Crittenden County judge does not have the authority to call a special grand jury to investigate the shooting death, by police, of a West Memphis boy.

    Judge Victor Hill wanted a special grand jury to investigate last year's death of DeAunta Farrow.

    Special prosecutors handling the case objected. They said their investigation was still open and that it was inappropriate for the court to conduct its own probe simultaneously. The Supreme Court agreed, leaving the case to the prosecutors.

    Farrow, 12, died after he was shot June 22 by a West Memphis police officer who said he thought the boy was carrying a gun and refused to obey orders to halt. Police were on a stakeout at an apartment complex near where the child was playing.
