Pay-up time for Brawley: '87 rape-hoaxer finally shells out for slander
NY Post ^ | August 4, 2013 | MICHAEL GARTLAND

Twenty-five years after accusing an innocent man of rape, Tawana Brawley is finally paying for her lies.

Last week, 10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones — the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her vicious hoax.

A Virginia court this year ordered the money garnisheed from six months of Brawley’s wages as a nurse there.

She still owes Pagones $431,000 in damages. And she remains defiantly unapologetic.

“It’s a long time coming,” said Pagones, 52, who to this day is more interested in extracting a confession from Brawley than cash.

Obveously this money does not come from 6 months as a nurse.

Doesn't ANYBODY read the article? She has paid around $3700 over six months. Still owes over $400k

Asking Sharpton about Tawana Brawley would be racist.

But Maddox, whose law license was suspended in 1990, continues the drumbeat for Brawley. He even tried to petition the Surry County court to halt the garnishment of Brawley’s wages.

He maintained that in New York, where the defamation case took place, two sets of laws apply.

“The common law applies to whites. The slave code still applies to blacks,” he said.

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.’ ”

These people MUST be clinically insane...

Would not be surprised if Sharpton and his Black Ku Klux Klan friends are back-door paying off this lawsuit

Sad that we still permit this Black Racist Hate today. White Guilt Liberals learned nothing from the Brawley fraud and lie

Which dovetails nicely into one of the reasons why we can not give illegal aliens amnesty, identity fraud and perjury on official government documents both state and federal.

I was wondering where/how she could come up with 3 million dollars. She must be swimming with cash or, at least, she has someone bankrolling here.

I wasn’t aware she became a follower of the pedophile but I’m not surprised.

Just like everything with Sharpton and Jackson.....no accountability. They couldn't continue with their filthy escapades if they didn't have approval from a powerful ally.

Who can believe that a practical nurse can come up with millions of dollars for any reason. This is interesting timing, considering the probable “Travon money” the Rev Al pocketed.

A reading of the ARTICLE reveals that she's coming up with $600 per month. Not sure where you're getting "millions of dollars."

She looks like a female Al Sharpton....is that his “daughter”? In that picture anyway.
