Bubba's new bitch.
From at least between 2009 and 2014 Bobby Paul Edwards physically and emotional abused a man working (as a slave) at his restaurant.
How many paid employees worked there (if any), saw the abuse, and did nothing? Why did his family not intervene?
While Bobby Paul Edwards confessed to the abuse, this is an odd case with many unanswered questions especially about the relationship of the victim and his family.
From CNN:
In an interview last year with CNN affiliate WPDE, Smith said Edwards physically abused him for years and forced him to live in a room behind the restaurant, keeping him away from his relatives. When Smith's family came to the restaurant, the manager would force him to stay in the kitchen, he said. "I wanted to get out of there a long time ago. But I didn't have nobody I could go to," he told the affiliate. " I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't see none of my family."
Smith said he started busing tables and washing dishes at the restaurant when he was 12, but the alleged incidents started when Edwards took over as manager.
In October 2014, a frequent customer noticed the scars on his body when he was putting food down and called authorities, who removed Smith from the restaurant, the affiliate said. The victim is about 40 years now.
Restaurant manager beat black employee for years and forced him to work without pay
Where is BLM when you actually need some vigilante justice?
This man deserves the full super deluxe treatment when he gets to jail and the prisoners find out who he is.
I saw the headline, and expected the subject to be either from Asia or from the Middle East. Both groups are known to treat employees like this while living in the United States.
Same with a third group; illegal immigrants from Mexico.
My guess, abuser is not a White guy. . .no mention of race of the criminal forcing a Black guy to work. . .if the bad guy was White it would be earth-shattering news played 24-7 yelling about slavery being supported by Whites and it was Trumps fault, bringing back slavery ya’know, we all know that.
I suspect it's because they didn't care. With his obvious mental deficiencies, they were happy to farm him out to the restaurant......
Smith described feeling like he was in prison, praying daily that God would help him escape. He said he didn’t leave because he worried about Edwards hurting him or his family.
He was more worried about his family than they were of him.........
So many things wrong with this story that could have been prevented........my heart goes out to this guy.
With the lawsuit payoff, I hope he is taken in by a family that really cares about him. If not, the family that let him live in servitude is about to purchase some new cars and big flat screen TV's.......
Conway - what an armpit.

This is horrific.
How are they going to get $272,952.96 in restitution to the victim?
Perp should’ve gotten life.
I’m sure he’ll prove to be pretty popular among the black inmates of the prison he’s sent to.
A horrible story. The perp needs more than ten years. I imagine the vicitm is a genteel soul. ...and you know there are other situations where people with certain disabilities are hired and work for years at a restaurant, or grocery store or other job that is not too demanding...The employer, the patrons, etc, all love and take care of that person.
Booby Paul, (mis-spelling on purpose), could have given the the victim minimum wage and a place to stay in the back of the restaurant and be a hero for taking care of another human. But no...he wanted to save $60 a day and not pay the man.
I truly hope that the victim has someone appointed to carefully manage his finances so that he is not again a victim.
I think you meant to ask how this occurred between 2009 and 2014 and not get caught or prosecuted under the SJW Obama administration DOJ, led by Eric Holder.
sad to say, but if his family had wanted to assume care for him, the second time they were denied time to visit with the victim, they’d have returned in 15 minutes with po po in tow.
