Sean Bell’s Family may get Justice
The police are gearing up for what they fear may be a riot tomorrow after the verdict is announced for the three police officers who killed Sean Bell in cold blood. I pray that we are smarter than to riot and destroy our own neighborhoods because of the injustice many expect after seeing similar court’s allow police officers to walk. Let’s pray that Sean Bell’s widow and his children find justice and they do not then we need pro-active solutions to make sure this type of tragedy does not happen again. Peace and Grace be unto you.
Queens Supreme Court Justice Arthur Cooperman will announce his verdict Friday in the trial of three police officers charged in the shooting death of Bell, 23, outside a Jamaica, Queens, strip club in the early hours of Nov. 25, 2006.
Dets. Michael Oliver, Gescard Isnora and Marc Cooper have been on trial since Feb. 25 for the shooting, in which two of Bell’s friends, Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman, were also wounded and testified against the detectives. Bell and his group had just left his bachelor party at the Club Kalua when the fatal 50-shot encounter with cops happened.

I’m watching now on CNN… not guilty on all charges. The people outside the court house are emotional. Sad, angry. But there will be a Federal civil rights investigation and an NYPD internal investigation. This is a very interesting story. they are talking about the demeanor of the three officers when the verdict was read. We will see what happens.
