The Jury has been selected for Pinkney's trial and it's ALL white

The Berrien County trial beginning this Monday at 8:30am now has a jury and it's all white. Rev. Pinkney is from Benton Harbor, 96% African-American, but the jurors are from the surrounding white towns.

Here are some other glaring irregularities:

--Prosecutor Mike Sepic on 3 or 4 occasions asked the jury pool, "Could you convict someone without evidence?" Right after he asked this question each time he nodded his head - indicating that they should answer in the affirmative.

--Prosecutor Sepic also told the jury pool several times that evidence was not necessary in order to convict someone. Only in Berrien County...

--Judge Schrock did everything he could to help Prosecutor Sepic.

Trial is this coming Monday, Oct. 27, 8:30am

Rev. Edward Pinkney, the community activist from Benton Harbor, has been bound over 

for trial on false charges. Rev. Pinkney is facing prosecution on five counts of election 

fraud which are felonies, as well as six misdemeanors. If found guilty he could be 

sentenced up to twenty-five years in prison. It's Berrien county's 3rd try to imprison the 
Rev.

There is absolutely no evidence that Pinkney did anything wrong. The petition dates could have been changed by election clerk Carolyn Toliver, Mayor James Hightower (Lowtower), or Berrien county sheriff deputies.

Rev. Pinkney did not change a date.

The fight continues. Rev. Pinkney is just one man, who, like many others, will not fall under pressure;  it will only strengthen him.

The battle in Berrien County continues against the corrupt politicians, local government, and Whirlpool Corporation who have staged a complete takeover of Benton Harbor.

    

The tug of war continues.

Rev. Edward Pinkney

Cynthia McKinney on the Persecution of Rev. Pinkney

Former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney wrote: 

Why is the Congressional Black Caucus silent on the persecution of Benton Harbor leader, Rev Edward Pinkney, who is being maliciously prosecuted AGAIN?  What has happened up there in DC to eliminate all heart, backbone, and guts? What's left without that???

REV. PINKNEY'S TRIAL OCTOBER 27, 2014 
http://hreventsbymlj.blogspot.com/2014/10/rev-pinkneys-trial-oct-27-2014.html

Pinkney's trial, Mon. Oct. 27. No victims, no evidence.

Rev. Pinkney's trial begins on October 27, 8:30am. The charges are voter fraud - five felonies of forgery of a recall petition with no victims and no evidence. The judge and the prosecutor stated tha in Michigan evidence is not required in order to go to trial. The prosecutor presented no direct evidence or indirect evidence.  Pinkney is potentially facing many years in prison when there has not been a crime committed by him.

The attack on democracy and justice in Benton Harbor shows that the corporate power structure is determined to crush anyone who stand in it's way. It is part of a process under way across America in various forms. Democracy has been stolen from the people. Water rights have been stolen.  Poverty is growing. We the people have nothing in common with

the billionaires, their corporations, or government. We must stand together for a new America.     

Our challenge today must be to create discomfort in the house of the powerful around the nation, with or without violence, with an appeal for freedom, justice, equality and understanding. There are too many poor people in a nation so wealthy.  Today we are not free and we are not equal. We have expanded the disparity gap between those who live in surplus and those who live in poverty.

An economic system that doesn't feed, clothe, and house its people must be and will be overturned and replaced with a system that meets the needs of the people. The unfinished business will require both courage and risk.  It will require sacrifice.  We must dream above the clouds of doubt and fear. We must continue to fight until discrimination and poverty no longer exist.

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten anything by appealing to the moral sense of the oppressor.  

The struggle that has taken place in recent years in Benton Harbor is a case in point, and one that holds a number of lessons for the American people. The fight in Benton Harbor is a war, not a conflict;  it is a war over whether Americans will have prosperity and democracy or live in poverty under the heel of open corporate rule.

Let's make this struggle a victory for all who are victims of the economic crisis in every city, town, and state in America.
