Former prosecutor says Tawana Brawley still owes him $429,000 .....

A former prosecutor who says Tawana Brawley, now known as Tawana Gutierrez, falsely dragged his name through the mud in a defamation judgment from 1987 is looking to collect this year.

Steven Pagones, a former Dutchess County prosecutor, says Brawley still owes him $429,000, including interest, after falsely calling him a 'gang-raping, kidnapping racist.'

'In all these years, she’s never told the truth about this hoax or paid me a cent,' Pagones told the New York Post on Christmas Eve.

'Now I’m going to seek anything I’m entitled to under the law,' he said.

That could well cost Brawley, a single mom working as a nurse in Virginia, up to a couple of hundred dollars a week, according to the Post.

Twenty-five years after Brawley's claims of being raped by a gang of white men polarised New York City, the woman has been tracked down living in hiding in Virginia.

She should have been jailed.

Until she paid every dime of the judgment.

Sharpton was, and ordered to pay out to Pagones. What became of that, I don’t know.

Pagones tried his case and won in civil court. He has a judgment. Generally they expire after 20 years or so, unless you refile them. Strictly speaking, a statute of limitations does not apply.

Love it.

Less money for a crooked, fat pig, Obama voter.

And I mean Tawanna banana, not that evil MSNBC subhuman, Sharpton.

Different circumstances.

Since the Martins, Inc. and Sharpton and Associates found a DA who was willing to indict Zimmerman, it will be much harder to find against them in civil court.

Brawley’s story was so ridiculous on its face that a New York grand jury - which would classically indict a “ham sandwich” - laughed her accusations out of court.

Nothing actually happened to Brawley.

Martin actually was shot and killed


Actually...wrong

Since the lies told by the Martins, Sharpton, and any other non-governmental person led to the false arrest and prosecution of George Zimmerman...they are not immune from civil damages. And, the State Attorney and LEO are only immune from civil actions other than Civil Rights violations

The FACT of the Zimmerman case is that Trayvon Martin attacked George Zimmerman, and Zimmerman shot in self-defense. This is pretty much apparent now as the media (even here locally) has really divested itself from the case

The NBC lawsuit is just the beginning for Zimmerman to clear his name, and to punish those who committed this fraud. Sharpton, The Martin family, Ben Crump, and others involved are not immune from any civil action, nor will be held to any higher standard of liability, just because some State Atty (forced by the Gov and AG when the local SA did not prosecute) decided to prosecute criminally.

As I stated, the judgement stands until satisfied. Collecting a judgement can be a whole new set of legal hurdles, but the fact that a Court ruled that money is owed does not go away.

I hope he doesn’t stop until he gets the money that is rightfully his.

I do too. Garnishment is his avenue now for her and Sharpton. Collect every cent, that will be justice for America.

BTW: has O'Reilly stopped slobbering over Sharpton? Haven't seen him on that show lately.

I did not say that they were immune from civil damages.

I said that it will be much harder to find against them in civil court than it was to find against Brawley.

The fact is that no one alive knows exactly what happened that night except George Zimmerman.

Because he was an interested party, his statements will be continually called into question.

In the case of Brawley, there were numerous witnesses who came forward to testify that during the same timeframe she claimed to have been held against her will in an unknown location she was attending a house party with her boyfriend in the presence of many guests.

Sharpton has learned a lot about what he can and cannot get away with in the 25 years since Brawley.

Thanks for clarifying it. So many loose ends, I wondered what happened to the case’s final disposition, if anything.

Kind of hard to earn money to pay a judgement in jail. They pay you what, 20 cents an hour in there? Good thing we don’t do debtor’s prisons in America anymore, or nobody would ever get paid on their judgements. This is also why jailing “deadbeat dads” is a stupid idea.

Being as an unfortunate man can do life in jail at the command of a vindictive woman, I would be willing to look at debtors prison reform.

Among the reforms could be a law that requires all serious criminal acts that cause indebtedness to require incarceration until the debt is paid.

Gotta love any thread referring to Tawana Brawley, because we get to remember the following inspired quote:

'... no one manipsnapes me or my family ...'
