Jena 6 Update
Looks like the apples didn't fall too far from the tree where the Jena 6 is concerned, as the sister and outspoken defender of the troubled lads just got arrested for being part of a very large drug operation:
"JENA — LaSalle Parish Sheriff Scott Franklin stood before a group of more than 150 law enforcement officers from at least 10 different agencies early Thursday morning, July 9, getting them ready for their day’s mission – Operation Third Option.
“We’re going into neighborhoods that are being controlled by drug dealers,” Franklin said. “I want to give them back their neighborhoods and return to them a safer neighborhood.”
Operation Third Option targeted a high-level drug trafficker and money launderer, those in the man’s drug ring and other lower-level dealers, police said. ....
A dozen arrests were made Thursday, and more than 20 more are expected as part of the investigation.....
The others arrested during the first strike of the operation were Adrian Carlinsky Richardson, 34, Michael D. Patterson Sr., 34, and Catrina Lynette Wallace, 29. All three are from Jena..... Wallace three counts of distribution of cocaine, according to police.
Wallace is the stepsister of Robert Bailey Jr., one of the “Jena Six” who recently pleaded no contest in connection with the 2006 attack on then-classmate Justin Barker at Jena High School. Wallace was outspoken during rallies in the community, helped organize a benefit concert to raise money for the Jena Six teens and was at one point the secretary of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter." The REST of the story
Oh yes, the Jena 6 recently pleaded no contest to beating Justin Barker to a pulp.

"Innocent until proven guily....doesn't say what she was arrested for, just that she was part of the bust."
Bovine Excrement! Catrina was charged with distribution of cocaine, she was one of the 'lieutenants' of the main drug dealer. Yes, she is the sister to one of the Jena6, Robert Bailey, who recently admitted in open court that Mychal Bell attacked Barker UNPROVOKED, and that he and the others joined in the attack, stomping Barker unconscious, again UNPROVOKED.
Innocent until proven guily....doesn't say what she was arrested for, just that she was part of the bust.
The fact that she was the secretary of the local NAACP is pretty funny if convicted of a drug crime!
I'm shocked there is no wall-to-wall coverage.
Read the story. I'm willing to bet they have them all nailed and these cases will probably never go to trial.
