JUSTICE ON TRIAL

MY TRUTH

by Cheryl Smith, Publisher

Tricks or Treats We’re in the throes of yet another election where some great things can happen especially if there is a huge voter turnout.

Rain, rain, go away.

No voter suppression.

No disenfranchisement of voters.

No changing polling places at the last minute.

No false advertising or lying about critical election information. Early voting has begun.

It’s also Halloween time and folks will be out trick or treating soon. There will be all kinds of parties and folks of all ages dressing up and going out with the expectation that they will get a treat.

Unfortunately there have been deaths associated with Halloween because there are some sick people out there who will do immoral things like passing out “treats” laced with drugs, razors, and other harmful items. Then there are the weirdos who go out looking for trouble—they just make everything negative.

Sound familiar?

JUSTICE for BOTHAM JEAN Lest we forget!

Judge who received rare public reprimands continues trend of controversial rulings, not holding defendants accountable

By Emma Lynn I Messenger Media

Judge Teresa Hawthorne, the sitting judge in Dallas County’s 203rd Judicial District Court who received two rare public reprimands in 2017 and was removed from the 2018 Democratic Primary ballot, has made controversial rulings in multiple felony cases over the past several months. A few of the cases in question include Aggravated Robbery, Failure to Register as a Sex Offender and Possession of a Controlled Substance.

According to public information available on Dallas County criminal cases, Judge Hawthorne has granted probation, granted early release from probation, and/or dismissed felony cases often without lawfully required hearings or holding defendants accountable for actions they were convicted of and/or plead guilty to.

Controversial rulings State vs. John Ogundiran –

Judge Teresa Hawthorne

is not on the ballot but she is waging a write-in campaign.

According to Dallas County Elections officials, no write-in candidate has been victorious in a county-wide race.

An invitation has been extended to Judge Hawthorne to discuss her career on the bench.

Defendant John Ogundiran was charged with Aggravated Robbery.

The defendant was placed on probation for seven years deferred on July 27, 2017, but he absconded and did not report to his probation officer for 90 days.

Subsequently, a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was arrested on September 8, 2017, and ordered to the court’s ATLAS mental health program on October 4, 2017.

Ogundiran was continued on probation and absconded again for 90 days and then rearrested.

While he was in jail, a competency evalation was ordered on May 4, 2018, that resulted in the defendant being ordered to Terrell State Hospital in Terrell, Texas.

A bench warrant was signed on August 24, 2018, to bring Ogundiran back to court.

He returned to court in October and Judge Hawthorne found him competent and discharged his probation releasing him early from probation, even though he had absconded several times in the past and never complied with the conditions of his probation to

attend the ATLAS mental health program.

On a seven-year probation sentence, Judge Hawthorne released the defendant early after doing less than 14 months on probation with no court or mental health services.

State vs. William Cody Rose Defendant William Cody Rose was charged with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. The defendant’s original listed offense was Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child on December 11, 2006, where his victim was a seven-yearold boy.

Rose served an eight-year sentence and once released from prison, he was required to register as a sex offender but failed to remain current with his registration requirements.

Both the prosecution and defense had an agreed plea for the defendant to have two years deferred, See JUDGE, page 3

Potter’s House honors mother of Botham Jean during WTAL Conference

By Dorothy J. Gentry Contributing Writer

They share a tragedy.

Every African American mother’s worst nightmare.

Burying their son.

On Wednesday night they shared a stage and an embrace; together, a portrait of grace under fire.

Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, presented the Lady of Grace award to Allison Jean, mother of Botham Jean, during the God's Leading Ladies Gala at Bishop T.D. Jakes' Woman, Thou Art Loosed! Master Class conference.

The award recognizes Mrs. Jean's grace, courageous faith, strength and resilience as she rose up to advocate not only for her son, but for others

who have unjustly lost their lives.

Mrs. Fulton received a standing ovation when introduced.

She has become an advocate and consoler to other families who have lost loved ones due to violence. Mrs. Fulton then shared Mrs. Jean’s heartbreaking story about losing her son.

non-reporting probation, plus remain current with his sex offender registration. Rose entered a plea of guilty to Failure to Register as a Sex Offender on September 6, 2018.

Judge Hawthorne stated to the defendant in open court, “if you bring me back proof that you registered as a Sex Offender then I will discharge his probation early.” Rose was ordered to bring back proof that he had updated his registration with the Department of Public Safety Sex Offender Registry.

He returned to court one week later on September 13, 2018, and submitted proof of his registration to Judge Hawthorne where he listed his address as in a tent at the wooded area (transient).

Neither a physical address was listed nor an actual city where he could be located for compliance checks by the Sex Offender Registration department.

However, Judge Hawthorne accepted a convicted sex offender’s proof of registration with no address to track his whereabouts as sufficient and discharged him from community supervision after seven days on probation instead of the two years previously agreed upon by the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office and the defense.

State vs. Carlos Sanchez Defendant Carlos Sanchez was charged with state jail felony Possession of a Controlled Substance Under One Gram. The defendant agreed and plead guilty to the reduced charge of a Class A misdemeanor Attempted Possession of a Controlled Substance on February 27, 2018.

Both the defense and the State agreed to a guilty plea of 12 months deferred probation and signed the required paperwork. A judgment was signed and submitted to the court clerks.

Within 30 minutes of the original plea Judge Hawthorne discharged Sanchez from probation by signing

an order dismissing proceedings and granting early release from probation without a hearing or either party being heard on the record. Following that action, Judge Hawthorne returned and found the defendant not guilty on the agreed plea of guilt, again without a hearing or either party being heard on the record.

As it pertains to terminating probation early, Judge Hawthorne’s ruling in this case does not adhere to the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 42.12. Section 20.

Reduction or Termination of Com-

stated above in these three cases.

Rare public reprimand In a rare move, in November 2017, the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct issued a Public Reprimand to Judge Hawthorne.

The Commission, responsible for investigating allegations of judicial misconduct, reprimanded Judge Hawthorne for using her influence to interfere in her nephew’s criminal case in Lubbock County, and for shaming a jury for their verdict in an unrelated rape case in her court.

The state agency further concluded that Judge Hawthorne’s conduct, as described above, constituted willful and/or persistent violations of three standards of the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct and conduct that is inconsistent with the proper execution of her duties, in violation of the Texas Constitution.

2018 Election munity Supervision, which states the following: (a) At any time, after the defendant has satisfactorily completed one-third of the original community supervision period or two years of community supervision, whichever is less, the period of community supervision may be reduced or terminated by the judge. (b) This section does not apply to a defendant convicted of an offense under Sections 49.04-49.08, Penal Code, a defendant convicted of an offense for which on conviction registration as a sex offender is required under Chapter 62, as added by Chapter 668, Acts of the 75th Legislature, Regular Session, 1997, or a defendant convicted of an offense punishable as a state jail felony.

This section of the Penal Code of Criminal Procedure is applicable to all three of the aforementioned cases. Regarding granting early release from probation, there are certain requirements that must be met. Judge Hawthorne did not follow the law

Judge Hawthorne, who originally ran for office as a Republican in 2006, switched parties in 2010 and won the bench in the 203rd Judicial District Court as a Democrat. She was unopposed and won re-election in 2014.

However, after being removed from the 2018 Democratic Primary Election ballot due to unlawful incompletion of the required filing paperwork to be a Primary candidate, Judge Hawthorne was removed from the March 2018 ballot after losing the legal battle to seek re-election.

Hawthorne’s current term on the bench is set to end on December 31, 2018.

The judge filed to run as a writein candidate in the current midterm General Election in an attempt to remain on the bench.

There is no Republican challenger on the ballot for the 203rd Judicial District Court. Former Dallas County Assistant District Attorney Raquel “Rocky” Jones is the official Democratic candidate for the 203rd.

Quit Playin’

By Vincent L. Hall It makes me nervous to the point of exhaustion to listen to some people in this community when it comes to politics. Jesse Jackson and political strategists have always posited that historically, if Black women get to the polls, they intrinsically know how to vote.

The final outcomes in Texas and in America will turn largely on how Black women vote. Please‌Baby Baby‌Please!

The only way to turn back this megalomaniacal zealot is to have women, and especially Black women, pull that lever as far to the left as the voting machine will go. Damn right I said it‌ Vote straight Democrat. The Democrats aren’t perfect, but at least they ain’t Republican.

The time to pontificate and prevaricate about America’s two-party system ain’t today. There ain’t no independents on the ballot in Dallas County for 2018.

BLACK PRESS

The Black Press believes that America can best lead the world away from racial and national antagonisms when it accords to every person, regardless of race, color or creed, full human and legal rights. Hating no person, fearing no person, the Black Press strives to help every person in the firm belief that all are hurt as long as anyone is held back.

Vote for the Democrat!!

Hillary Rodham Clinton still gets a lot of unsolicited hate these days, but I ran across a piece I wrote when she came through Dallas 14 years ago. She appeared at a swanky Dallas reception, but she was bearing a common grassroots message. “Hillary made one statement to the crowd that bears repeating. In essence, she said that the reason that Democrats are perpetually endangered is because we don’t fully understand politics. She has discerned that when it comes to fielding candidates, Democrats want to fall in love, while Republicans just fall in line.�

Her meaning is obvious. Democrats want a candidate saintly enough to rival Jesus. She or he must be without spot or blemish. It has to be someone who can walk on water without leaving any toxins in the waves. Someone who is so well-rounded and wise that no one could bring a criticism against them.

The Democrats want someone who

is sinless and pure in thought and tendencies. We want a revered potentate worthy of the papacy... but not too pompous or too self-righteous. We clamor for a Viceroy who vanquishes all evil; but they can’t be too brutal.

Democrats, as Hillary let on, have gotta Quit Playin.

Republicans on the other hand employ a much different ideology.

They tend to pick someone woven in the right material and then work with the pattern to make the garment fit their needs.

Isn’t it interesting that Republicans are famous for taking the hard line, yet are willing to make painful concessions for the sake of their party?

Ardent anti-abortionists and frugal fiscal fanatics will put their pet issues aside if it means that they could berate and beat up on a Democrat.

Republicans and Conservatives are politically astute enough to know that one point of disagreement does not a disqualification make.

The perfect candidate is about as

rare as the perfect person. Go find one!

Democrats have got to mature enough to understand that the downside of being in a diverse party is that we can never get every policy and program that pleases all of us. We also have to gather that if we don’t get the seat, we don’t get a damned thing. Nada, nothing, zero, zilch!!!

We have to learn that it’s more profitable to fight over the spoils of war than just fighting the war itself. Alexander the Great didn’t fight for props, he fought for property. Let’s get us some!

Let’s claim every state house and every house that sits near the White House.

Do you know how miserable we can make Donald Trump? This sniveling simpleton doesn’t even know how to enjoy a win. Can you imagine Trump being blocked on every side? It’s time for the Democrats to get some real revenge.

The old adage was “make love not war.� But if the Democratic Party is going to realize any success in 2018, they are going to have to make war and bid love adieu. Hillary put it right; don’t go looking to fall in love, instead search for reasons to fall in line. Or better yet; Quit Playin’!!! #Beto #Creuzot #Democrat Vincent L.

From the Capitol

By Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson

A well-respected group of Democrats and Republicans in Washington are in agreement that the federal government is doing very little to protect the voting rights of minority voters in the United States. Describing the government’s refusal to enable its citizens to participate in fair elections, the Commission on Civil Rights, in a

recently released report, characterized the electoral climate as dangerous and pernicious.

Created in 1957, the eight-member panel investigates civil rights issues in the United States and recommends

fair.

The U.S Department of Justice hinders the rights of minority voters, said Catherine E. Lhamon, an attorney, and veteran government official who chairs the Commission. Ms. Lhamon said

The current Commission consists of six Democrats and two Republicans, and each of them agreed with the report’s conclusions that the state of voting rights was blatantly un-

that the Justice Department had failed in its responsibility to protect minority voting rights.

Among its recommendations, the Commission urges the strengthening of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which

was severely weakened in 2013 when the U.S. Supreme Court decided to preclude the Justice Department from stopping what it considered unconstitutional voting procedures passed by state legislatures.

The Court’s decision in the case, Shelby County v. Holder, allowed states such as Texas to pass restrictive voter ID laws designed to weaken the voting strength of racial minorities, students and persons with disabilities.

Other states controlled by Republican legislators have passed legislation such as the one enacted in Texas in efforts to deny Democratic majorities in voting, knowing full-well that minorities, See VOTING RIGHTS, page 14

Role of the Grand Jury in Felony Cases

As your Dallas County District Attorney, I am proud of my commitment to connecting with the community. In fact, one of the tenets of my service as the chief law enforcement officer has been community outreach and engagement. Over the last few months in particular, I have had the pleasure of connecting with several community organizations and individuals and many have posed questions about the grand jury and felony prosecution process.

Indeed, I am not surprised at the increased interest in these mechanisms of the criminal justice system.

This aspect of our prosecution process has been thrust into the spotlight recently in light of social and civil rights issues, such as officer-involved shootings, and particularly, involving the recent shooting of Botham Shem Jean by Dallas Police Officer, Amber Guyger.

Some groups do not understand how the criminal justice system works in felony cases. It is important to take a moment to understand how the criminal prosecution process works in felony cases.

It is important to me, your District Attorney, that you, the community-members I swore to protect, know that I am doing everything the law allows me to do to seek justice in not

only the Amber Guyger case, but in all cases submitted to my office. One point that is critically important to understand is the role of the Grand Jury and why certain cases, such as those involving officer shootings, must be heard by a Grand Jury.

STATUTE: All felony cases must go before a Grand Jury. It’s the law.

By law, the Grand Jury is comprised of twelve individuals, your peers, who determine whether there is probable cause to believe that a felony offense has occurred.

The Grand Jury makes this determination for all felony cases submitted to the District Attorney and hears a limited number of misdemeanor offenses, as well.

A quorum of nine jurors must be present to carry out the function of a Grand Jury.

In Dallas County, there are four Grand Juries. Two meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and two meet every Tuesday and Thursday.

Each Grand Jury serves for approximately three months.

SELECTION: Determining who serves as a Grand Juror.

Grand jurors are selected the same way trial juries are summoned. Potential jurors are sent an official letter requesting them to appear and then empaneled to obtain a better

cross-section of the community. The presiding judge shall hear both qualifications for and excuses from service. Ultimately, the presiding judge will empanel the completed grand jury.

By law, the Grand jury’s identity and proceedings are secret. In other words, they are not open to the public and their methods, discussions and deliberations cannot be shared. While this idea of secrecy can be difficult for some to understand---especially in high-profile cases—it is mandated by law and necessary to among other reasons, protect the process from any outside influence and should a defendant not be charged with a crime, to shield their involvement in the justice system from the public so that they are truly able to continue their life without the taint or blemish of suspected criminal activity.

SYSTEMATIC: The indictment process.

trict Attorney and her representatives present evidence, including the facts of the case and explain the law to the Grand Jury so they have a full and complete understanding what charges are appropriate or not appropriate, based on the law.

After reviewing all the evidence including listening to witness testimony, viewing exhibits, etc., a Grand Jury can either decide to True-Bill or No-Bill a case. A No-Bill means the Grand Jury determined there was not sufficient evidence against the accused to indict the case. A True-Bill means that the jurors found the evidence was sufficient to indict based on the law.

SERVICE: Your role in the criminal justice system It is important for every citizen who is able, to consider serving on a Grand Jury in Dallas County. Your service on a Grand Jury will not only ensure that your community is accurately represented but will further ensure that individuals who commit serious crimes are indicted and those who did not, are able to continue their lives as a productive, contributing member of society, thereby doing your civic duty to seek justice for all.

An individual can serve on the Grand Jury if they are: 1) 18 years of age; 2) a citizen of the

United States; 3) a resident of the state and of the county in which the person is to serve; 4) qualified under the constitution and laws to vote in the county in which the Grand Jury is sitting, regardless of whether the person is registered to vote; 5) of sound mind and good moral character; 6) able to read and write; 7) not a convicted felon; 8) not under indictment or other legal accusation for misdemeanor theft or a felony; 9) not related to any person selected to serve or serving on the same Grand Jury; 10) not a previous grand juror from the year before the date on which the term of court for which the person has been selected as grand juror begins; and 11) not a complainant in any matter to be heard by the Grand Jury during the term of court for which the person has been selected as a grand juror.

When local residents, business and community leaders serve on a Grand Jury in Dallas County, the greater the chance the outcome will fairly represent people in the community.

It is my sincere hope that this explanation of the Grand Jury process aids in the understanding of our criminal justice system and leads to unity, collaboration and peace within the Dallas Community and trust between our residents and the Office sworn to serve.

The Hate U Give is heavy

THE HATE U GIVE is based on a young adult novel

by Angie Thomas, a Jackson, MS author whose mission is to focus on the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

It's directed by George Tillman Jr, who directed the 1997 movie SOUL FOOD and other movies about African American life like BARBERSHOP, ROLL BOUNCE and NOTORIOUS. As a team, the writer and director deliver an Oscar-caliber film that is thought-provoking and asks a lot of questions about why we continue with the epidemic of shootings of young black men in the Afri-

can American community.

Amandla Stenberg plays Starr Carter, a high school student who is trapped in two worlds. She lives in a predominantly African American neighborhood where drugs and violence are a way of life and she attends a white upscale high school that her parents enrolled in her not just to increase her chances of going to college but for her own safety.

The young actress is brilliant in her role. The entire cast gives a great performance including Regina Hall as her mother, Anthony Mackie as the neighborhood drug lord and Common plays her uncle, who is also a cop.

Starr has to make some very adult decisions after her childhood friend, and her first crush is killed by police in a traffic stop where a white

police officer mistakes a hairbrush for a weapon.

THE HATE U GIVE asks some questions that most of us have never considered.

For example how a black officer would react to an African

My days have been blessed! This week the Valder Beebe Show invited best-selling R&B Artist, Broadway and TV Actress, Toni Braxton into our studios. Throughout her career, Braxton has sold over 67 million records, including 41 million albums worldwide.

She has won seven Grammy Awards, nine Billboard Music Awards, seven American Music Awards, and may other personal and professional accolades.

Toni is open and candid about living with the lifelong disease Lupus. Lupus is a disease which the immune system attacks healthy tissue. It affects about 1.5 million Americans, mostly women. Are you aware of someone who is living with Lupus? I am. My Food IQ Girls business partner, Sandra Hart is living with Lupus and doing awesome, but it has taken a lot of work on her health.

It’s also an everyday battle for

those with LUPUS. Toni appeared as a guest on the Valder Beebe Show to share about finding a solutions to problems that she experiences from suffering from Lupus and its impact.

She has partnered with Uncle Bud’s the trusted collection of natural hemp infused products. Braxton opens up to the Valder Beebe Show audience about her journey with Lupus and how the hemphealthy brand has helped.

Uncle Bud’s specializes in skin

American boy if he was in the same situation. It also asks why is there is so much hate by cops aimed at young black men?

THE HATE U GIVE is a "must see movie." You'll leave the theater with a heavy heart and the movie will surely open up a new dialogue on police shootings. However; in the end, the movie has an uplifting message that will leave you wanting more.

The good news is the author is working on a new book called "On the Come Up" which will be released in 2019.

The movie is rated PG-13 and has a run time of 2 hours and 13 minutes. I highly recommend this movie. On my "Hollywood Popcorn Scale" THE HATE U GIVE rates a JUMBO.

On the Scene

with Hollywood at Cattle Baron’s Ball and Radio Show

Toni Braxton on Lupus care, personal care and pain relief products, making them an essential part of an everyday routine for Braxton, who has long suffered from the painful and debilitating effects of Lupus.

Joining Toni in the interview, 22-year-old Garret Greller, who co-created this line at just 17 years old, after suffering for years with arthritis pain. Greller shared his journey and how the safe and effective hemp infused products are making their way

to the masses and promise to provide much needed relief to those suffering from debilitating pain. This interview was produced for: Uncle Bud's VBS: Toni you stated at the beginning of our conversation that you have Lupus. This is a disease that adversely affects anyone who lives with this disease. Uncle Bud’s products provides relief?

TB: For me having Lupus is like living with the flu every day my body is achy. I have Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is the most

common form of lupus and is generally considered more serious than the other three forms.... For me Lupus impacts my heart. I found Uncle Bud’s completely by default, I used it and forgot about it because my body was completely pain free.

I don’t endorse anything but brand product, Uncle Bud’s I thought the world should know about it.

Joining in the celebration was over 150 Deltas, family members and friends who came to Denton, TX — the first return trip for many alums since their graduation.

VOTING RIGHTS, continued from front page

students and the disabled tend to vote for the Democrat Party because of its progressive stance on issues, and its history of being the party of civil rights!

The nearly 500 page report points out that in the last five years, 61 law suits have been filed challenging Voter ID laws and other restrictive measures.

Its members bemoan the lack of sensitivity by Attorney General Jeff Sessions whose commitment to civil rights was challenged during his confirmation hearings by Congressman John Lewis, Senator Cory Booker and a plethora of fairness advocates who believe that Sessions is vested in seeing a dilution in minority voting participation.

Under Attorney General Sessions, the Justice Department has failed U.S. citizens of Hispanic origin and the handicapped, according to the

Commission’s report. It cites that state officials in Florida recently had to be taken to court to ensure that voting materials were provided to Spanish-speaking voters.

The Commission also was alarmed that the Justice Department seemed to ignore the special needs of handicapped voters by not insisting that voting places be equipped with ramps, assisting disabled people access to voting booths without difficulty.

The Commission’s report is timely with a major national election just days away. It should give those who find the practices of some state legislatures disgusting the encouragement to vote, to urge their friends and relatives to vote, and to participate in the correction of our local, state and federal governments!

“But Mother,” we protested mildly because we knew we could only say so much. “Everyone is going trick-or-treating today, on Halloween.”
