  • Tyshawn Lee: The Murderers of 9 Year-Old TyShawn Lee of Chicago
    This episdose will discuss the Murderers of 9 Year-Old TyShawn Lee must be brought to justice.  There exist only 4 possible "suspects" who would or could have "lured" him into an alley to be executed.  in us as we discuss the murder and murderers of Tyshawn Lee of Chicago. People Magazine reports "Our children have a right to walk our streets. Our children have a right to play in the park. Our children have a right to sit on their porch. Our children have a right expect to be safe wherever they are in the city of Chicago."
    “This is not a stray bullet, not a drive-by — this is multiple gunshots to a child and only that one person shot,” Reverend Michael Pfleger told the Chicago Sun-Times. “There’s no question that this is targeted and that it’s an execution.”

  • JUDGES FOR SALE: BUY ONE NOW! JUSTICE REFORM MUST ADDRESS THE ROLE OF JUDGES
    This episode will discuss judicial corruption and what must be done by the President, the Senate and local Governments to address justice reform. We cannot pretend that we do not have a problem in this Country when we can buy and sale judges - justice - at any price.  
    Not a problem?  Then, why did our U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg address a need for reform concerning the money involved in electing judges, and even went as far as saying that it remains one of the most pressing concerns facing the American court system?
    From local to federal appointments judicial corruption is a critical issue and as long as judges are for sale then, we do not have justice and there will never be reform. Judicial corruption is not limited to finance, we have judges who purchase drugs from dealers and sex from underaged children as well as victims of human trafficking and child sexual exploitation.  We have judges sale justice - outcomes - of cases.
    Every sector of the electoral process is subject to term limits and campaign financing management except the role of judges in America.  A corrupt judiciary means a corrupt prosecutor and corrupt prosecutor means corrupt police - so when we question why some police act without regard of human rights and constitutional safeguards, look to the Magistrate court who signed the warrant, the prosecutor who will prosecute the case and the judge who will issue the sentence.  The same is true in a civil matter. There lies the problem!

  • African American Children for Sale. The Paper Chase
    This epispde will discuss the "Funding Opportunities that thwart efforts of reform for victims of exploitation. Every day in America, thousands of women and children are sold for sex. Law enforcement arrests the children as “juvenile prostitutes” asserting they are not victims but are willing participants. In major cities, African-American girls represent the majority of victims of sexual exploitation. This is not a new phenomenon. Since the new millennium, commercial sexual exploitation of African-American children has grown to become part of a billion dollar industry. Jefferson said, “Over the course of a decade, she has witnessed the role of corporate financial supporters on issues like human trafficking, and juvenile justice and reform; the role of the Black “powers that be,” and the role of the political and nonprofit leaders who work effortless to thwart meaningful advocacy and change.”  Jefferson said, “It is unfortunate that some recipients of nonprofit funding are as responsible for advocating against anyone who dares to speak against the status quo.”
     
    Attorney Sherri Jefferson has created an awareness ribbon for domestic minor sex trafficking and child sexual exploitation.  Blue, Teal and Lt. Blue combined because individually the colors offer awareness on too many issues.  This ribbon is specific to the issue of DMST/CSE

    Do #BlackLivesMatter to Black People Stop the D Effect Drugs, Death, Divorceand the Beyond. A Word from Attorney Sherri Jefferson
    While Attorney Jefferson clearly understands that every group has its own agenda and that the "agenda" of the #Blacklivesmatter movement focus is upon police force and brutality, the movement must move to add other dimensions to the conversation and action so that some of the issues that require police interaction can be best served through community accountability and responsibility.

  • The State of Georgia's Unconstitutional Laws: It Affects the Media and Citizens
    This episode will discuss how the State of Georgia General Assembly has knowingly passed several unconstitutional criminal statutes that have resulted in charges against its citizens and how they refuse to amend, repeal or abolish the laws. The State Attorney General Sam Olens and Governor Nathan Deal have notice of five Georgia criminal statutes (O.C.G.A. 17-4-40, O.C.G.A. 16-11-40, O.C.G.A. 16-5-90, O.C.G.A. 16-11-39.1),  that are unconstitutional both facially and as-applied to Georgia citizens, as void for vagueness and under the over breadth doctrine,  For example, O.C.G.A. 16-11-40 punishes Georgia citizens for "Criminal Defamation of Character."   This legislation infringes upon free speech violates the overbreadh doctrine and is also void for vagueness.  The State of Georgia Council for Criminal Justice Reform and the Governor promotes reform, however, how can we reform the justice system when we have unconstitutional laws that keep people subject to detention and bondage?

  • Prison Nation: America’s Continuing Neglect of Women and Girls - Deanna Watson
    This episode will discuss how America’s obsession with incarcerating its most vulnerable members of society should be of great concern to everyone because research proves that incarceration does not prevent crime or advance public safety. Almost two million people in America are incarcerated. Women and girls represent the mothers of the future generation of America. It is inexcusable to suffer the most disenfranchised segment of society to the harsh conditions of prison life. A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN -- A WORD FROM ATTORNEY SHERRI JEFFERSON
    Remember Deanna Watson of Charlotte, North Carolina, 16 year old held on one MILLION dollar bond for self defense against her mother's boyfriend.
