NEW YORK (AP) -- Twenty years after her allegations of a racially charged rape became a national flash point, Tawana Brawley's mother and stepfather want to reopen the case, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Glenda Brawley and Ralph King want to press New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to re-examine the November 1987 incident, which a state grand jury ultimately concluded was a hoax, the Daily News reported.

Brawley has changed her name and become a nurse”

Hopefully I will come under the care of a nurse who is that nuts. Also, I would bet the Brawley’s had the mindset that they are “owed” even before Tawana was born.


You have to have some smarts to be a nurse. As I recall in the papers, they said she was borderline retarded. Then I heard she was going to law school. That I can believe.

“You have to have some smarts to be a nurse.”

From the information I’ve gathered...she was a nurse’s aide, and is now a practical nurse working in a nursing home.

I’m going to keep saying this until the MSM gets it right: neither Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton attended seminary school and, hence, have no legitimate right to the title “Rev.”. In fact, Al Sharpton did not graduate from college. He was “ordained” at age 10 by a preacher in Washington, DC. I think this is a disgrace to those who actually earned the title.

This is what irks me...this is how Sharpton gained, not earned, the title of “Reverend”:

“Sharpton was licensed and ordained a Pentecostal minister at the age of nine by Bishop F.D. Washington. After Bishop Washington’s death in the late 1980s, Sharpton became a Baptist; he was re-baptized as a member of the Bethany Baptist Church in 1994 by the Reverend William Jones and became a Baptist minister.”

Funny, but apparently we were writing our posts at the same time!

Mine had to do with Mr. Sharpton.

Thanks for your post! I wish the media would catch on to this! I cringe when they are referred to as “Reverend!”

ARGH! ;)

Wouldn’t the statute of limitations have passed?
Doesn’t this enter into double jeopardy for the defendents?

Oh wait, it’s Al Sharpton. The rules don’t apply.

Per the "classy" song (paraphrased)... life ain't nuthin', but money and *******.

Seriously... sounds like a test case for reparations.

the point of this is that they want Tawana’s case dropped so that her warrant in NEW YORK is no longer open.

Very good point. I didn't realize this.

I'm not sure, but I don’t think it’s my computer. Every once in a while, single and double quotation marks draw special HTML codes in place of them and the program doesn’t appear to translate them correctly. Not sure exactly why, but my guess is that it's either Al or Jesse messin' around with me!
