3. I read a little about this, but can you articulate why the jena 6 should be free

Do you believe they didn't put the beating on that kid (and why) or that the beating was justified (how so)? or some other reason?

7. overcharged. I agree.


But if they did it -- should they be convicted of aggravated assault as Mychal Bell was (once they reduced the ridiculous overcharge of 2nd degree murder) or actually be set free.

Its clear that there are some white people who need to be in jail too, but is the petition based on the JENA 6 going free because of instigating related incidents not leading to white people being incarceration?
