AFRICANGLOBE – A teen who spent three years in a notorious New York jail without ever having been convicted or put on trial is coming forward after filing a lawsuit against New York City. In June, charges against Kalief Browder were mysteriously dropped and he was released, as first reported by WABC-TV.

Browder was a 16-year-old sophomore in high school walking home from a party in the Bronx when he was arrested on a tip that he had allegedly robbed someone three weeks earlier. He was hauled off to Rikers Island, a prison known for punishing conditions and overuse of force, and was held because he couldn’t pay the $10,000 bail.
Browder went to court on several occasions, but he was never scheduled for trial. After 33 months in jail, Browder said a judge offered freedom in exchange for a guilty plea, threatening that he could face 15 years in jail if convicted. He refused. Then one day, he was released with no explanation.


 
If any of you ever go into a fast food chain for a burger or a taco -- you're a phony.
If you eat food from white farmers -- you're a phony,
If you serve three years in jail without a trial -- you're.....(?)

Do not suffer any more under the evil hand of so called "White Supremacy," which I refer to it as modern living.
Yeah,

Tell'dat to the young man who did time for nothing.
