Black Talk Radio News w/ Scotty Reid

Tune in for an hour of some of the latest in political news and hot topics of the day.  A day after Kanye West dropped the truth bomb that the USA was still practicing slavery and permitting the use of slave labor as a matter of law spelled out in the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution and a need to change this travesty of permitting slavery, Alyssa Milano who has been at the center of the #MeToo movement and a staunch Judge Brett Kavanaugh critic, is proposing that the 1970s era "Equal Rights Amendment" be revisited and ratified.

Fake News made its way into a USA Today article that stated that men and women don't have equal protection under the law in the United States and therefore Congress needs to amend the Constitution to include women. Research into the issue has determined that is a lie. The 19th Amendment protects the voting rights of women and a key figure in the passage of the 19th Amendment is credited for adding discrimination based on "sex" added to the 1964 Civil Rights Act most known as an achievement of the Dr. King led civil rights movement.

Death Row Under The Microscope In North Carolina & Tennessee

Capital Punishment in the USA is under examination nationally after two stories emerge from North Carolina and Tennessee.

In Tennessee, a prisoner, Edmund George Zagorski, 63, is set to be executed on Oct 11th and rather than dying by lethal injection, wants to be killed by electric chair. Zagorski was convicted of a double homicide in 1983. “Faced with the choice of two unconstitutional methods of execution, Mr. Zagorski has indicated that if his execution is to move forward, he believes that the electric chair is the lesser of two evils,” Kelley Henry, Zagorski's defense lawyer said. “Ten to 18 minutes of drowning, suffocation and chemical burning is unspeakable.” Zagorski has pending appeals to state and federal courts, claiming lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment.

North Carolina has the nation's sixth largest Death Row population. The Center for Death Row Litigation based in Durham issued a new report that says three quarter's of the states death row prisoners don't belong there. The report, “Unequal Justice: How obsolete laws and unfair trial created North Carolina’s outsized Death Row,” has some alarming findings.

▪ 92 percent of the death row prisoners were tried and convicted before a 2008 reform package aimed at limiting false confessions and mistaken eyewitness identifications.

▪ 82 percent, 118 prisoners in all, were sent to death row before North Carolina passed a law giving the defense the right to view all the prosecution’s evidence. Up to then, district attorneys routinely withheld vital information until it was presented at trial, giving the accused little time to prepare a defense, the report says.

▪ 73 percent of the death row population, 103 inmates in all, were sent there before the passing of laws barring the execution of people with intellectual disabilities.

Gerda Stein, a spokeswoman for the litigation center, said the goal of the report is to educate the public and state decision-makers about the inequities in the state’s history with capital punishment.
