Juror #47

I spent today, all day, in a Clermont County court. I was potential juror #47. Bailiff Brock told us potential jurors, “hurry up and wait.” And wait we did. You readers of this blog know that I have a contemptuous relationship with a certain prosecutor in Hamilton County. Or the black people's persecutor.


I foolishly carried my biases toward the Deters' just-us system (hang a black man in public, before you do it in court)  into Batavia court . They shut me (the only black) down quick with their professionalism and friendliness. Bailiff Brock was very funny. Judge Haddad was—wow! Cute, in a Rahm Emanuel sort of way. Check him out

Esme could melt butter - Deters will use a ROPE on that black man

Kirkland hasn’t got a chance in hell.


And he doesn’t deserve one.

I don’t support the death penalty for a black man who is mentally ill. A day in a mental institution is like death to mentally ill patients, according to some mentally ill folks that I know. So life in a mental institution could be like hell on earth for Kirkland. Fantastic!

Esme’s mother, Lisa, was on the stand today. I streamed her testimony. It didn’t show her face. I could hear her sobs. May she be comforted. Mere words, I know. There is no comfort for a mother that has to bury her child. Lisa Kenny stated that Esme, before she left, told her mom that if her little friends (or cousins) called, tell them she would be right back because she had plans to read to them via the internet. And who the fuck wouldn’t cry after hearing something like that?

Deters rested after he showed a picture of little Esme. So cute. On that picture she looks like she could melt butter with her eyes. When she first went missing, they showed another picture that made her look a bit older, more mature. So, I understand wanting to show that picture. You gotta show a picture that melts butter if you want to fry a black, right? No need to fry em'. Deters got a rope.

The courtroom was packed. They say Esme’s family rolled in 24 deep. Glad she appears to have a wonderful loving family.

More later.

I saw the jurors white hands, one by one, leave the courtroom.  Deters made sure the hands were white, right?

Happy Monday! Glorious Day for a black man's lynching!

(compare the two stories on cincinnati.com end of this blog post--somone can always explain away one person's mental illness, why is that? Just ponder the articles)

Happy Monday! There were some great moments during the Academy Awards last night. As a writer, I was most inspired by Geoffrey Fletcher winning best adapted screenplay for the book PUSH. It was great to escape the real world and live vicariously through the stars. Back to the real word in Cincy. There’s a black man’s lynching going on at the Hamilton County courthouse. Sure, put the killer away. May his victims r.i.p. May their families be comforted. May the prosecutor, or persecutor, do the right thing. This case is too important to be reduced to a notch under his belt. There are lessons to be learned.


It’s a beautiful day folks. Get out and walk. Do something purposeful!

Deters should resign from Kirkland Case!

R.I.P Casonya, Mary Jo, Kimya and Esme

Citizens Against Joe Deters demands that Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters resign as top prosecutor in the Anthony Kirkland case.

"She was a victim hunted down by a predatory animal," Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said. In an article that appeared in online on March 18, 2009. (source nky.com)

The above reckless comment is one of many comments that the prosecutor has made that publicly lynches African Americans in the court of public opinion before they are convicted in a court of law.

If jurors are sent through a rigorous screening process to determine if they can be fair, why shouldn’t the prosecutor go through a similar process to determine if his racial biases determines how hard he prosecutes a case. Or how hard he lynches a black man?

CAJD does not condone the heinous acts that Kirkland is accused of committing We extend our deep sympathies and heart felt prayers to the victim’s families. We pray that Kirkland who suffers from severe mental illness (according to published reports), when convicted, spends the rest of his life in a mental hospital receiving treatment, and that he is not sentenced to a prison which have become “de facto” mental health institutions. We pray that Kirkland is not sentenced to death because of the ignorance of the prosecutor and others that seek to make him the poster boy for the black boogie man.

It makes CAJD's sick that the prosecutor with the part-time employment status, only rears his head to publicly lynch African Americans, the poor, or the mentally ill. My heart aches when I think about what Kirkland is accused of doing to those females (in fact had sleepless night, thinking about what the females went through) , and my heart bleeds in knowing that Deters is using this case to get a “win” notch under his belt.

shame on you Joe Deters.  An eye for an eye is not the Christian way.
