Here We Go Again...Police Acquitted in Sean Bell Case

2008-04-25T08:38:00.000-07:00

A judge acquitted three New York Police Department detectives of all charges Friday morning in the shooting death of an unarmed man in a 50-bullet barrage, hours before he was to be married.

Detectives Michael Oliver, left, Gescard Isnora and Marc Cooper were accused in the 50-bullet barrage.

1 of 3 Detectives Michael Oliver and Gescard Isnora were found not guilty of charges of manslaughter, assault and reckless endangerment in the death of Sean Bell, 23, and the wounding of two of his friends.

Detective Marc Cooper was acquitted of reckless endangerment.

Justice Arthur Cooperman said he found problems with the prosecution's case. He said some prosecution witnesses contradicted themselves, and he cited prior convictions and incarcerations of witnesses.

He also cited the demeanor of some witnesses on the stand.

As the judge read his decision, Nicole Paultre Bell -- Sean Bell's fiancee before his death -- ran from the courtroom, saying, "I've got to get out of here."

The announcement immediately sparked anger among some in the crowd outside the courthouse, but the protests were generally orderly.

One woman shouted at a black police officer, "How can you be proud to wear that uniform? Stand down! Stop working for the masters!" Sean Bell was black.

Patrick Lynch, president of the New York Police Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, said "there's no winners, there's no losers" in the case.

"We still have a death that occurred. We still have police officers that have to live with the fact that there was a death involved in their case," Lynch said.

But, he added, the verdict assured police officers that they will be treated fairly in New York's courts.

"This case was not about justice," said Leroy Gadsden, chair of the police/community relations committee of the Jamaica Branch NAACP. "This case was about the police having a right to be above the law. If the law was in effect here, if the judge had followed the law truly, these officers would have been found guilty. ...

"This court, unfortunately, is bankrupt when it comes to justice for people of color."

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has been advising Bell's fiancee and family, left the courthouse about an hour after the verdict without making a public statement. He had called for calm Wednesday.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg issued a statement saying, "An innocent man lost his life, a bride lost her groom, two daughters lost their father, and a mother and a father lost their son. No verdict could ever end the grief that those who knew and loved Sean Bell suffer."

However, he said, the legal system must be respected.

"America is a nation of laws, and though not everyone will agree with the verdicts and opinions issued by the courts, we accept their authority."

Bloomberg also said he had spoken briefly with Paultre Bell on Wednesday and agreed with her on the need to ensure similar incidents would not occur in the future.

Bell, 23, was killed just before dawn on his wedding day, November 25, 2006. He and several friends were winding up an all-night bachelor party at the Kalua Club in Queens, a strip club that was under investigation by a NYPD undercover unit looking into complaints of guns, drugs and prostitution.

Undercover detectives were inside the club, and plainclothes officers were stationed outside.

Witnesses said that about 4 a.m., closing time, as Bell and his friends left the club, an argument broke out. Believing that one of Bell's friends, Joseph Guzman, was going to get a gun from Bell's car, one of the undercover detectives followed the men and called for backup.

What happened next was at the heart of the trial, prosecuted by the assistant district attorney in Queens.

City braces for protests
Prosecution rests
Bell, Guzman and Trent Benefield got into the car, with Bell at the wheel. The detectives drew their weapons, said Guzman and Benefield, who testified that they never heard the plainclothes detectives identify themselves as police.

Bell was in a panic to get away from the armed men, his friends testified.

But the detectives thought Bell was trying to run down one of them, according to their lawyers, believed that their lives were in danger and started shooting.

In a frantic 911 call, police can be heard saying, "Shots fired. Undercover units involved."

A total of 50 bullets were fired by five NYPD officers. Only three were charged with crimes.

Oliver, who reloaded his semiautomatic in the middle of the fray, fired 31 times, Isnora fired 11 times, and Cooper, whose leg was brushed by Bell's moving car, fired four times, the NYPD said.

No gun was found near Bell or his friends.

Soon after his death, Bell's fiancee, Nicole Paultre, legally changed her name to Nicole Paultre Bell. She is raising the couple's two daughters, ages 5 and 1.

"I tell [them] that Daddy's in heaven now," she said. "He's watching over us. He's our guardian angel. He's going to be here to protect us and make sure nothing happens to us."

Detectives Endowment Association President Michael Palladino said forensic and scientific evidence presented during the seven-week trial contradicts the testimony of prosecution witnesses.

But Paultre Bell's father, Lester Paultre, said, "For those naysayers who say the police was doing their job, they should imagine their child in that car being shot by the police for no reason."

Paultre Bell, Guzman and Benefield have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit in federal court that has been stayed pending the outcome of the criminal trial. Guzman was shot 16 times, and four bullets, too dangerous to remove, remain in his body, according to his lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein.

Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York have been monitoring the trial. In the event of an acquittal, it is likely authorities would conduct a review to determine whether there were any civil rights violations. E-mail to a friend

T.I To Plead Guilty To Weapons Charges

The 27-year-old singer, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was expected to be sentenced to 1,500 hours of community service talking to youth groups around the country, followed by about 12 months in prison, according to two people familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plea deal had not been finalized yet Thursday morning.

I was certain that they were going to throw the book at him....but I am glad that he is allegedly only serving 1 year and community service if the plea deal is reached.

Shyne Po Is Getting Back On The Town Early

2008-02-29T07:37:00.000-08:00

Former Bad Boy artist, Shyne, is getting out of jail a year early for good behavior. Shyne has been serving a 10-year sentence at Woodbourne Correctional Facility stemming from a 1999 New York Club shooting. Shyne was part of a group with P. Diddy and his then girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez. Mathew "Scar" Allen and three people were hit with bullets when a gun went off in the club. Shyne signed a $3 million dollar deal with Def Jam from behind bars in 2004 and released the album "Godfather Buried Alive" but album sales were dismal. Though being released for good behavior, Shyne hasn't always been a model prisoner. In '05 he was thrown in the hole for two months after getting into an altercation with another inmate.

Clive Campbell aka Cool Herc Sues Jay Z and Others For 5 Billion

2008-02-25T12:43:00.000-08:00

Mr. Ratner, Jay-Z, and Barclay’s are all linked through the $4 billion Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn, for which Mr. Ratner plans to build a Frank Gehry-designed basketball arena for the Nets and more than 6,000 apartments. Jay-Z, a partial owner of the Nets, has been a major supporter of the project, appearing at press conferences to tout its merits. Barclays owns the naming rights to the arena, and has been accused of having links with the slave trade—an accusation the bank denies.

In the claim, Mr. Campbell said that Mr. Ratner and Jay-Z worked “in concert” with Barclays, and “profited from the African Slave Trade and continue to profit from these gains, through a conspiracy dating back hundreds of years and continue to date to oppress Black people, enslave them, unlawfully deport them to all corners of the Earth.”

“There was visual observation of marijuana on his person, on his front shirt, and that coupled with the odor of marijuana, Mr. Grymes was arrested for that. A search of the vehicle yielded a nominal amount of marijuana in the center console. J. Holiday and one other occupant, George Jackson, face drug possession charges.

2008-02-15T11:21:00.000-08:00

Some may say who is John Issacs??????? To most who grew up in The Bronx within the last 40 years who attended the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club after school know him as Mr. Issacs who runs The Club.

Most of us may not know that Mr. Issacs was a professional basketball player who played with the Harlem Renaissance. Can you imagine how tough it must have been to be a black athlete back in the 1930's. We can say that he helped pave the way for a african american athletes today. I am pretty sure he took a lot so we wouldn't have to.

I know him personally, but to look at him you would not think that he is in his 90's.

From us here at The GHOODLIFE, we would like to thank Mr. Issacs for providing a place for us to have fun, and stay out of trouble. There were several positive influences that made sure we did the right thing like Sandy, Pete "Young Man" Cepeda, Jeff, Ruben, Big Randy!

If you lived in the Crotona Park East Section of the Bronx, you know where you were going right after school to play ball, shoot pool, swim and get yelled at for running in the halls..LOL "The Club".

Weather you were an Explorer, Junior, Intermediate, or Senior you remember Mr. Issacs.

The deal was agreed upon by both New Jersey and Dallas, but George informed the team just before they submitted the deal to the NBA that he wouldn't agree to the move.

His one-year contract includes a rare provision that allows him to veto any trade he's involved in.

2008-01-23T07:23:00.000-08:00

Lupe first made remarks regarding retirement back in November, but now seems more resolved than ever. When asked what is currently the best and worst aspect of rap music he declared flatly, "Rap music." Though he wouldn't elaborate on his enigmatic response he did go on to say he was "85% sure" he would be retiring soon. "It actually fluctuates," Lupe continued, "It was 96% about a week ago…I just get tired you know? I get tired. It's a tiring pace that I keep. You see that [show I just did]? I gotta do that again tomorrow. With this [hoarse] voice I gotta find a way to do it again. Then get on a bus for 16 hours, get up and do it all over again for the next two weeks."
But along with the daily stresses of coping with the demands of performing, it seems that Lupe has also grown bored with the industry. When DX inquired if the reality of fame and success had lived up to his expectations, Lupe responded, "I realized stuff that was exciting to me [when I found fame] was stuff I was already doing. A lot of the stuff that people would equate with success, I was already doing at like 19. So now that I'm here at 25 it's like …[there's not much left to excite me]"

Foxy Met With The Judge About Being Released From The Slammer

2008-01-18T13:06:00.001-08:00

Foxy met with the judge yesterday and explained that there's only one doctor that has treated her ear condition successfully and he's in California, but the Assistant District Attorney wasn't having it. The Assistant DA argued that that 'an inmate had no right to the doctor of their choice' and that, “The mere existence of a debilitating health condition does not merit a sentence reduction, even if it is a terminal illness" and that, "Basically, your honor, this is a desperate and frivolous petition.” Foxy told the judge that she has learned a lot from her sentence including “how to suppress her emotions and make better decisions." She also told the judge, "I have too much talent to throw it away. I know I will make you proud and my family proud”. “I'm glad you're learning some very hard lessons that needed to be learned,” Jackson replied. The judge will make her decision January on 31rst.

New Music: Deniro Black "Dissappear"(Lil Wayne Diss?)

2008-01-18T11:23:00.000-08:00

I just received this track today from the good people over at Arsun Records.

While this is only a snippet, This kid really shows off his lyrical prowess and gets his point across that he is the best.

This is suppossedly from the upcoming album The Black Report where it seems his aim is to expose of alot of things going on in the industry as well as the streets. I don't think he's actually coming at lil Wayne, but you know the people love controversy....so let thet talk begin!!!

I caught wind of Deniro Black last year when he independently released "The House That Black Built"

Key songs from that album were leaked on the popular blog Smartenupnas.com in the artist of the month section.

It's needless to say that this guy is ready to make it happen.

Smut News Of The Day: Remember Him From Blackstreet He Was Black As The Street Was

2008-01-16T12:23:00.000-08:00

I don't know if this is true or not, but that's why it is labeled Smut News . You see where I got the pic from...

Who knows..........

Chauncey Hannibal (AKA Chauncey Black), a former member of the R&B group Blackstreet was arrested in California for non-payment of child support and has since been extradited to Virginia where he's being held at the Virginia Beach City Jail.

A spokesman for the jail said that Chauncey, 39, was extradited on charges of grand larceny, desertion or non-support of a spouse or children, and failure to appear in court on an unrelated criminal charge.

MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Chauncey is currently being held without bond. He's scheduled to see the judge today.

Chauncey's larceny charge stems from allegations that the former R&B star looted a three-bedroom, $592,000 house after he had been evicted in July 2006.
