A defiantly unapologetic Tawana Brawley began paying off damages last week, 25 years after falsely accusing ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones of rape, The New York Post reported.

Ten checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to Mr. Pagones — the first payments Miss Brawley has made since she defamed him in 1988, The Post said. She still owes Mr. Pagones $431,000.

A Virginia court this year ordered the money garnisheed from six months of Miss Brawley’s wages as a licensed practical nurse at The Laurels of Bon Air in Richmond, The Post reported. She can appeal the wage garnishment every six months.

About time!

Hopefully, there is 25 years of interest added to that.

Since you can’t get blood out of a turnip, I predict she will become a turnip. “Why woik if dey jus takes it?”

[Buckeye McFrog]

at this rate she’ll be 173 by the time that is paid off...

“Why woik if dey jus takes it?”

But, she can still gets her Obamafone.....

Rev Al needs to pony up the rest w/interest. He’s just as guilty on charge of race pimping.

So how did this come about - did she recently surface under an assumed name? Did she finally get a job? Brawley probably had a lot of help to stay off the radar for so long.

The people who helped her hide should be forced to pay her debt too

So she’s an LPN at a nursing home? Interesting.

Why was she and those around her never criminally charged?

3,764.61 / 6 months = 627.43/months payments

$431,000 total owed / 627.43 = 686.9 payments

690 payments / 12 months = 57.5 years

Tawana Brawley is now 41 years old

41 + 57.5 = she will be 98.5 years old when she pays off the judgement assuming that the terms don’t change.

In a July 22 legal brief signed by Brawley and submitted by
Maddox, Brawley contends she wouldn’t submit herself to the
court’s jurisdiction because an appearance in the
court, “which inferentially sympathizes with the
Confederate States of America, would be contrary to the US
Constitution and would amount to a ‘badge of slavery.’ ”
