It's a historical account of pre-teen plantation workers going about their daily business of picking sugar cane in the fields. They boarded their horse & buggies up near the main barn, which took them down to the sugar cane fields, where they worked all day long. There's no moral to this story. It's just a period in time you might enjoy knowing about.<BR/><BR/>And how these little negro boys had to cater to two of us little white girls during all these little horse & buggy trips to and from the barn.<BR/><BR/>When the story's over and done, you'll see how far the pendulum has swung.

The crime she committed, making a false allegation, is pretty trivial and would not cost her much in the way of a penalty. <BR/><BR/>This is why the 3 defendants and their families have gone on a full court press on this case. They do not want just to be found not guilty or have the charges dropped, but want these defendants exonerated in the eyes of the public. <BR/><BR/>They have largely succeeded but you can never succeed with 100% of the public.

She is on probation for stealing money from an employer.<BR/><BR/>2. Roberts knows now that Mangum accused her at various times of stealing her money, raping, kidnapping and sexual offense against her and abetting in kidnapping her, raping her and sexual offene against her. <BR/><BR/>4. She saw what happened to the cabby who did not support the the view point of the state of NC in this case. <BR/><BR/>So given this set of facts, if you were Roberts [aka Pittman] would you just want to waltz in and talk to prosecutors who you don't know what they are going to do? This is true whether or not Roberts stole Mangum's money that night or not. <BR/><BR/>Certainly we know in racial terms that the SPs won't want to drop charges on the white lacrosse players and charge a black stripper, but what if there is a bank deposit that night that is hard for Roberts to explain? And since Roberts was probably not paying a lot of taxes on her earnings in those days, she probably has further reasons not to want to go openning up her life to prosecutors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-32140544550650707352007-03-17T20:10:00.000-04:002007-03-17T20:10:00.000-04:00Gak - no harm no foul, right?
