* Will the Quitman 12, be tried by a Grand Jury and Jury of their peers? Or will they be assigned an all White Jury or a majority of Whites with only two or three Black Alternates that will give the appearance of a fair and just jury. Even more importantly; why was the RACIAL MAKEUP of the BROOKS COUNTY GRAND JURY not made public? Does the public has a right to know?
Middle Georgia Reports! Macon Examiner Take and Powerful View Point and Truth! What if South Georgia News News Outlets Reported in this manner?
1. On December 21, 2010,
-- The Original Quitman were arrested in Brooks County Georgia!
-- They were charged with alleged Absentee Voter Fraud.
2. However, on Wednesday, November 23, 2011.
- We were notified for the first time.
- That the Quitman 10 citizens-----had been indicted.
- And that; Brenda Monds, and Debra Dennard had been added to the list.
- These 12 Outstanding Citizens have been charged and will finally have their day in court.
- If there were irregularities in the voting process why did the Georgia Secretary of State; wait for a year and a half to take action?
- This delayed action; cast a negative shadow; upon the INTEGRITY of the Voting Process in the State of Georgia!
- The EXMINER in Macon, Georgia perhaps said it best! This is the historic Land of the Dixiecrats!
3. I am also puzzled by the times article:
- There were NO mention of:
- - Intentioal fraud, intentionally mishandling of absentee ballots, forged signatures, denied or forced voters to VOTE against their will!
-- I only see: possible voter fraud, and multiple counts repeated.
4. What about complaints from Brooks County Voters:
- About alleged voter intimidated by the Georgia GBI.
- Especially, since this was widespread talk in the Black Community!
- Why was the Elderly Voters not interviewed and the general public informed on these Brooks County Citizens?
- Was the GBI Investigator that drove a WHITE truck investigated and did our news media publish anything about these complaints to the general public? If not, why not?
- Is harassing of Voters in the State of Georgia; of any concern in Georgia anymore?
- This lack of coverage has left citizens deaf; dumb; and blind to what goes on in their community. So what was the purpose of not reporting this information to local citizens?
- Why were NOT all Voters investigated on both sides of the Voting Process (Both Black and White) since there was an increase in all Absentee Ballots turned in for the election?
5. In addition:
- Has the General Public been properly informed:
-- About the RACIAL makeup; of the Brooks County Grand Jury!
-- Does the general public-----have a right to know?
-- Who is to gain; by Georgia News Media not informing the General public in this case?
-- Did District Attorney David Miller or his Assistant Shealy have an impact the General Public NOT being NOTIFIED?
-- Does these OMISSIONS; reveal a PATTERN and PRACTICE of keeping citizens ignorant in the State of Georgia?
-- Why would Quitman 10 meetings with nearly 200 people; NOT be reported by Georgia News Media Outlets?
-- Who benefited by; ignoring major rallies, marches, church services along with trips outside of our community to meet with Georgia State Leaders?
-- Why would the establishing of an NAACP Branch in Brooks County after the Quitman 10 arrests; not be of importance to citizens and Georgia News Paper Outlets in 2011?
-- Why was Georgia State Senators, and Representative such as Senator Robert Brown, Representative David Lucas; a 37 Year Member of the Georgia General Assembly who traveled to Brooks County----in support of the Quitman 10 on several different occasions be ignored in 2011?
-- Who determines what is news in Quitman and Brooks County? And why did not other news media outlets see a need to inform the general public in the State of Georgia?
-- Why was the NAACP State President Edward DuBose, District Coordinate Larry Locket, and SCLC President Mostella be ignored? When they gave their support to the Quitman 10 and traveled to Brooks County but were ignored by the State of Georgia News Media Outlets?
-- Why did Georgia News Media Outlets ignore; Rev. Joseph Lowery Organization; “The Peoples Agenda” when they traveled from across the State of Georgia to give their support to the Quitman 10?
-- Why were senior citizens and other women organizations ignored when their members came to Brooks County to show support to the Quitman 10? But was ignored here in the State of Georgia.
6. THE GENERAL PUBLIC:
- Does citizens have a right to know; what is happening in their community?
- If information is NOT reported to the public. There is no way citizens can intelligently serve on GRANDJURIES or on JURIES as informed citizens of South Georgia. Nor can citizens expect to have a JURY from among their peers?
- By not publishing the racial makeup of the Brooks County Grand Jury; will this further inflame the Brooks County Community? And plant in the minds of many; that the Quitman 12 cannot receive a fair trial here in South Georgia?
- So, will citizens question the grand jury makeup? Only to loose faith in sitting a jury that will be from among the Quitman 10 peers?
- Will there be an all White Jury; or a Majority White Jury?
- With (1 ) or (2) Blacks; on the jury.
- Along with SEVERAL other BLACK alternates-----to give a certain appearance in the EYES of the public?
- As Former President of the Valdosta-Lowndes County Branch of the NAACP. I hope, and pray; that South Georgia Judicial System start out right!
- So it can end up right, and reach a VERDICT in the State of Georgia.
- That is beyond----a shadow of doubt. Or QUESTIONS as to the guilt or innocence of the Quitman 12.
