julian harper they would not be doing the show they are all on assignment today and they left me to my lonesome but obviously they feel that carried away or they would have made different plans but in any event  we're here today in sorry the night here in looking forward to dialogue in which you are might even try to see if i can open the phones earlier today if i can i certainly will want to first start off by certainly the prayers of the writers of a of the much so we all been praying for you brother so you know stay strong and hang on in there and then again once you will assume the position you know whether so and in any event let's get started today as we always we start with something in our history certainly our history with heroes is sure rose in certainly key moments at certain junctions in our history so we'll start off real quick and get that done because we have quite a or great made in his own right did so many things in some things that certainly there's room to question but he left us fantastic institution to ski institute there still remains to the ski institute he was able to start from just a one room shack a one room shack that eventually became a tuskegee institute he had the land here at the plant but he didn't have many resources he started in one building and brought in students didn't turn students back brought them in they wanted for nothing they made their own clothes they made pajamas they made the shoes they made their underwear they made their clothes they they made bricks to build the buildings they did they own plumbing they had a horse and buggy plows and all that stuff and did a great work in before you know it out of the dirt road to ski institute in those who first came there the first thing you did for the first year would just work and then you became a student in the early years because they needed work done  n and he was a real straight up taskmaster that had to do the work in the carriage them to be the people who they became so he did a lot of great things in certainly to his detriment of in race felt that that turn the clock back on on the movement's own on the real progress that was being made but suffice it to say that book at sea washing it was a great man indeed a lot of things in and then they other things that he used their power sometimes to reach out and touch other in a less than favorable way but we need to at least remember the great work because it had to be something about in the garvey from jamaica to meet this man in the sea is great work and it just seemed an example of what really doing for self would look like so big kudos to booker t washington on the day of his birth now the second had that meeting one on one meeting with woodrow wilson and in that meeting once he shot straight where you know we have leaders today that have gone to the white house in just for photo ops and they all giggling  they made the point to defend our people and ladies laid it on the line and said that we should not be being fired and segregated from all of these federal jobs which words are a large employer and so this day a large employer of black people in the so president wilson consequently had him thrown out he disagreed in certainly woodrow wilson is now used to a black leader him and i to be wells were the first ones to say no good and stepped away from that because they said they're not going to be a part of a black organization that is run by white people so when you move as well as a to b wells stepped away at that point so big kudos to william roache would be a great man a great race main a man that stood up for the rates unapologetically and we should always remember that maine now let's get started from the outset there's an up day i'll do the update before we get to you know the scent truth thing or what we're going to be talking about today there's a brother that calls in he's called in regularly wanting to know whatever happens to their case in minnesota with respect to the white to the black police officer who shot the white woman the australian and let me just get a quick update on the minneapolis police officer the mom in law he's on trial now in and in that particular case jury selection has already started consequently very soon that case will be rolling so you asked us to a few times and we were waiting for something to happen was something has happened they've empaneled seventy five people today that are going to be potential jurors in the case so this particular case he did shoot and she was and he thought he heard it sound in a few things happened in that exchange then he turned around quickly and made the decision to protect himself consequently he's been charged and right away what was unique about that case a mini minneapolis minnesota was that is soon as it happened they revealed his name and they gave you the scenario right away as to what happened only because he was black obviously because a white cop and you know that if you if you sophisticated enough know how to read stories in the newspaper you know initially those things and that is forthcoming so once they said right away what his name was and show pitch you knew right away that was that's how to handle black because those situations i had to totally different sometimes you go for weeks if not months without even knowing who did the shooting so when any  about only eight days because the trial you know the trial was monday through thursday wasn't friday so you're talking about two weeks by the end of last thursday and basically ended and this monday was prosecution but in that process in my humble opinion that there were others there they were quite a few others blacks representing other organizations in one fortunately other genders that within and i won't get into that now with respect to the family maybe at a later date we'll talk about it but at this time i won't say but in any event there were people there black people the blacks wore on the left side basically of the court room and the right side of the courtroom was filled literally all way throughout those two weeks you had a situation where the defense in my humble opinion it was  like they were going through the motions the prosecution always attacking from start to finish at every opportunity attack attack attack  waiting emotions and obviously in a racially charged case that's what always seems to happen you know anytime there's a white woman who's killed in certainly as i've said before compassion goes out to her and her family for for the loss and that's that's only right that we say that because it is a loss for young woman thirty years just to be innocently jogging in that howard beach area that area over the indeed a belt parkway is not really a park park for say but it's it's it's a place where some last certainly the prosecution was intent or not making those or repeating those mistakes again so the gaps got tighter and the words were shopper and much more vicious much more pernicious so you had a situation in the courtroom where let's go over a few things in there now make my assessment as to what i thought and then i'll be  i'll be there you know i'm going want to hear from you that's why i'm going to make to hear from you from the outset did the jury was it had three blacks on the jury and asian woman and i think a latino or two was hard to tell and then everybody else was way basically but they were three blacks two black females in one male and now you had hand in they ran to divert let me just get ahead of myself and say that the decision came within five hours so if they start early in the morning and the jury got charged let's say somewhere around three thirty there abouts the jury was charged by the judge with respect to his directions in what you know how the verdict should be rendered in what needed to be know this was not one of those situations juror number four admitted that he was pressured to make that decision right away and in the judge was going to keep them all night and gave them like twelve hours to make that this isn't so which is which isn't present for the judge to really go that route now in this process they opened up by talking about an anonymous letter and i'm sure many of you read that anonymous letter but the anonymous letter they believe the defense counsel believes it was written by a police officer and in that in that found hiers on her body of white individuals not a black mean white individuals but the letter goes on to say that  police decided that it was a black person the letter just says and that's why the defense counsel believes it was a police officer that actually wrote the unanimous letter now it goes on to say that once the police decided that it was a black person they arbitrarily decided that all this is part of the playbook once they did that the letter says that it's searched it actually swab the d n a of three hundred  sixty black mean in how would be in other parts of queens as well as other parts of brooklyn so can you imagine through the which aren't that it takes to get three hundred sixty people and swap them another word you will eliminate it the white guys who they said look jacked up suspicious whatever they were doing they just threw that sort of wayside and they ignored their own evidence of the hairs of white individuals or her body they just dismissed that too now you get to the lead and the lead and not only talks about that but also says that in the letter that they felt that chanel lewis was too dimwitted it says and too puny to be the person so they were looking for somebody else but to go backwards this her death occurred on august the second twenty sixteen but in may which is more than two months before this even happen a lieutenant russo had saw or characterize chanel lewis as suspicious why was he suspicious suspicious here myths that he actually followed this person louis for forty five minutes waiting for him to do something when that never happened and then he called police and then they would basically tailing him and then they lost him that's what he says but luckily the next day he was off duty again i was off duty that day now he's  they follow him they pat him down and then they get his name they are de him and document his name i guess for future i guess the suspicion is that they too so two days in a row this is now remember this is two months before anything happens to the trial two months before and so he's being tracked already so now when unfortunately  is killed two months later well over two months later when they don't have anybody they go approximately six months without a lead the lead allegedly goes cold and they don't have anything it was then at that point the because they had already decided that it was going to be a black person so they did the swab in the people and at that point zamost that so he goes on so they did swab him and eventually came back with a match something close to a match so at that point he was arrested and then so much is hanging on that level of d n a even though with the way her body the consumer has abrasions to a body and yet it was should be d n a all over the place you know the way you know it go it transfers from one person to another that didn't happen they only found some d n a that was a match somewhat of a match on her neck which the eighty eight claims he choked he beats it down again chokes out again and then she wakes up momentarily and grab some grass which was found in a hand you know he's using these scenarios the eighty eight called scenario he said this is not about race the case has nothing to do with race yet he kept on showing her naked body he showed her a nice picture of her use science i'm going to prove to you scientifically he use no science he built this whole thing on emotion it was predicated on race he rousseau his observations were predicated on race the police department who decided it was a black person in this regard it the white hairs that suggested that this was done by white individuals they just said it's got to be a black person and that's where they just started at the black person of abol leave i would love to see the person who really killed her prosecuted to the full extent of the law one hundred blacks in law enforcement is a prolonging foresman organization we believe in for prosecutions you know prosecuting criminals criminals do something they've got to pay for the actions now i would just say because i'm going to go to the fountain a minute i see the is fully lit already i'll just say that of he kept constantly saying he's going to use science but he kept showing their pitches he showed their pitches so many times that the jury the jury number four said they always that everybody there with the exception of him felt that chanelle lewis was guilty consequently they he said all he wanted to that he signed approximately sixty eight page document saying he killed a white woman just to get them stop stop doing what they were doing and they found out later thankfully it was detective that was it contained with him just confessing to it he found out that it was the husband's brother a white man who was married to the woman he killed his own wife and then in turn he got the gun from his brother so when the detectives went back in question everybody about of the brother broke he broke the brother and then he was able to get him the myth that it was his brother they killed you know the husband who killed that white woman and  consequently they just lied about a black man doing it because when they did that they went through boston the black section you know of boston in just  h through people in india and you talk about a witch intimidation and the things that they did it was incredible so you know in any event so much for confessions what about the confessions of the central park seven the  seven you had confessions in that and they had nothing to do with the case so in any event they put so much stock into d n a and into confessions that everything was predicated confession there were three and a half hours totally missing they were if you added up well over five hours or more totally missing where they worked on him they worked on him from five something that afternoon until five in the morning so you talk about a twelve hour period where he was worked on and tricked into admitting into something that he did not do so in any event i'm going to stop there because i'm open up the phone honored to have you on the program brother again the second time last few weeks this brother incredible poet and brother just love you just please continue to call us call in to us and just courtroom i think he hung up ok in any event because i know i would have liked to have seen automatics lewis because he be walking out their front door if he had automatics as his attorney because also maddox not only was he a master in the courtroom but he also understood d n a so he would have to go get another person to explain d n a or have a person in a courtroom that they didn't use by the way they had him any event that was one of the situations that that happened they disregarded the key evidence and whoever heard of just watching the prosecution lamba to how did the father was able to find his daughter what all those other police officers around how was he able to find his daughter right away the prosecution objected to right away because they didn't information you have you supposed to hand it to the defense counsel they didn't do that it came in the form of an anonymous letter consequently the prosecution knew about this and that that automatically should have been a on that's true that's true but you know yeah that's true we didn't seem to know the process but thank you so much for the call and i'm certainly just keep calling in and this thank you for the information you provided that juror number four admitted that before he even went into the malaysians everybody felt that lewis was guilty already except him and he say he based his decision on the body language that the people who were talking in the room the everything was being said and done by white people in other words the black people so that it was all white people talking but is he saying they they reached the right decision he said it had nothing to do race but he's admitting that it was only white people doing the talking and he said his rested on he feels that the decision was just because he went bad it's a confession and that's why they manipulate these confessions because imagine it the detective in boston had not continued to pursue who really did it that black mayor would have been found guilty of killing a white woman and her unborn baby but he pursued it irrespective but in this particular case the letter says clearly that the police department decided that the perpetrator was black and even though they didn't have anybody for six months they decided it's go convicted of crimes they commit right i think just how impeach look amongst themselves because there is a killer out there and it's not that young man that was just and i don't even know this went to trial i guess if you had the opportunity what would you say to the white people in howard beach what would you say to them if you had the opportunity to really focus on who really  on or a videotape that it said on in this particular case so much hung on a confession i mean what really is a confession when you say you did something you had to look into what level of the privateer you have to look into sleep deprivation you have to look it hunger deprivation you have to look at  just the stress of not seeing your family this may want to see his family he constantly axed about calling his family he wanted to go home he did not understand that he was not going home he thought that if he said what they wanted in the say that he and her would be able to go home they day he didn't understand the process they took full advantage of it it's not hard to do  and you can't put too much stock into confessions because as you know the central park seven many of them confess to something that they didn't even do next call a walk into community cup where you call it from did yes why do you think that when the lawyer hinted towards that the prosecution objected immediately and it was sustained by the judge you hear that what would you say to if you had the opportunity to speak to the white people in howard beach what would you say  to fight let's make that crystal clear that we're not going to die in a compromised position we have to stand for justice to get get on the jury you have to vote so we have to have we need to have our people in there we need to be da's we need to be a d a s we need to have organizations that are watching you know the things the machinations that go on in the courtroom because what we saw happen yesterday i mean how can you even fix your mouth to call somebody a savage and then to go unimpeded he he didn't even contests when he actually called that black man a savage right there in an open court room called him a savage was calling him out of his name kept on showing the pictures of her damaged body race unapologetically black and strong and that will fight every inch of the way for our people that's what we need we need of the lot semantics that's why they took his license because those are the type of lawyers we need not the crime sort of world not crop
