Tick, tick, tick, tick...
Dat's a lotta councils!
Can campaign funds be used for legal defense? Asking for a friend.
Bellinder. lol !!!!
if they can run the clock down until Trump is out of office then they might be able to get the next democrat POTUS to make this go away.
Only if you don't get caught.
I can't wait!!!
Stupid Mayor from Flint, MI will donate.
The defendants will be begging for a trial postponement soon.
Jeffrey L. Edison (Lumumba’s atty)
“He returned to Detroit to attend Wayne State University School of Law, where he met student activists, Carl Edwards, Ivy Riley, Chokwe Lumumba, Daphne Curtis, Adam Shakoor, and many others who were committed to eradicating racism experienced at the law school; and the training of legal warriors for the future.”
“Mr. Edison has practiced law, primarily as a criminal defense lawyer, since May 1976, when Chief Defender, Myzell Sowell, invited him, Daphne Curtis, and Chokwe Lumumba to work at the Defenders Office. In May 1980, he joined the firm of Earl Ashford, James Cannon, Chokwe Lumumba, and Adam Shakoor.”
“Mr. Edison has lectured on various criminal justice issues and has trained lawyers on trial advocacy techniques. He has participated in various programs in correctional facilities to address prisoner concerns and has been involved in community organizing around prison issues, police brutality, and political prisoners”
“Mr. Edison is the recipient of the 1985; the Malcolm X Community Center’s African Heritage
Award...the Nation of Islam’s Crescent Award, 1998; the Detroit Branch, NAACP’s Freedom Fighter Award, 1999...”
“In 1989, Mr. Edison represented NCBL, as part of a Nation of Islam delegation to Libya, in celebration of Libya’s 20th Anniversary. This delegation included among others, Adjoa Aiyetoro, NCBL, national co-chair; Akbar Muhammed, Nation of Islam; Chokwe Lumumba, New Afrikan Peoples Organization...”
“Mr. Edison has also worked.... to develop and implement a pilot Restorative Justice Project ...Restorative justice is based on the idea that a community does not have a crime problem. It has a relationship problem. “
You people just be patient and don't get your knickers in a knot.
Remember: Rudy Warnock was indicted in Madison County December 2021 and after a total of TEN continuances, upon hearing the guilty verdict, he purposefully ran into a tree and slit his wrists in July of 2025.
Three years and seven months elapsed between indictment and verdict. Sentencing is scheduled for this coming November.
Chokwe can raise ten million bucks in forty-three months!
"Restorative justice is based on the idea that a community does not have a crime problem. It has a relationship problem."
In Jackson, that means the Vice Lords have a "relationship problem" with the Gangster Disciples.
As expected, Lumumba brought in some of his daddy's pals from Detroit, to play the race card at trial and try to hang the jury, if it gets that far.
Judge Jordan is gonna have to keep this one on a short leash.
I feel pretty confident that this era of Democrat-aligned, potential candidates for POTUS, are extremely outnumbered. Lumumba and Owens should not count on a change anytime soon.
Who is paying all of these lawyers?
Time to start rolling guys
At 1:07 PM How? it was Bidens DOJ so dem president means nothing Biden was in office at the time lol
Racists all.
No all Jackson jury.
@1:07 PM, long time to wait since JD Vance will be serving two terms and that is after Trump wins again in 2028.
Chokwe can raise ten million bucks in forty-three months!
Betcha he can't. The BPS has more important chumps to defend that are integral to their future electoral hopes than an empty suit who couldn't win a third term in Jackson, Mississippi.
3:19 PM you are insane. Trump can talk all he wants but he cannot run for a third term. This country may not survive his second term!
@1:07 - Makes you wonder why a Democrat DOJ indicted him. Or didn’t you know that?
