W.Va. Women Who Said She Was Tortured, Now Says She Made It Up WTF ?!

Remember this story 2 years ago ? They found her in a shed with her hair cut up, and her entire body bruised. She said she had been beaten and ganged raped by her boyfriend, and his family Now, she says she made it up to get revenge on her boyfriend. Read below for the rest of the story.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — When a black woman told West Virginia authorities in 2007 that seven white people had raped and tortured her over several days in a racially motivated attack, minority rights groups rallied to her support.

The Rev. Al Sharpton and Black Lawyers for Justice urged prosecutors to pursue hate-crime charges. The lawyers organized a march on Megan Williams' behalf. Sharpton addressed a rally in Charleston and donated $1,000 to Williams' family as a Christmas gift.

More than two years later, Williams, now 22 and living in Columbus, recanted her story on Wednesday, and the groups that supported her stood at arm's length from the woman whose mother had described her as "slow."

Sharpton has asked a prosecutor to vindicate anyone wrongfully convicted.
The head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Logan and Boone counties in West Virginia said the group didn't rush to judgment two years ago, and won't now.

"We did have some concerns about what was being done at the time and how it was carried out by Megan and the family, because of her mental condition," said the Rev. Audie Murphy, president of the group.

Williams had said her captors, including boyfriend Bobby Brewster, beat her, raped her, forced her to drink urine and eat feces, poured hot wax on her and taunted her with racial slurs in a the trailer of Brewster's mother in a rural area of Logan County, about 50 miles from Charleston, W.Va. Williams was rescued after a passer-by heard cries from the shed where she was kept and an anonymous caller alerted authorities.

The suspects all confessed to their actions and pleaded guilty. All but one were sent to prison.
But Williams made up the story because she wanted to get revenge against a boyfriend who had beaten her, said her attorney, Byron L. Potts. She recanted because she no longer wants to live a lie, he said.

Potts said Williams has received several anonymous phone calls from people threatening her life. "She is recanting the entire incident. She says it did not happen, and she's scared," Potts said.
Potts said Williams stabbed herself with a straight razor to help embellish the story of being tortured.

"She told me the only thing not self-inflicted were the bruises on her face," Potts said.
Prosecutors, who knew about the relationship during the case, dismissed Williams' new claim, and lawyers for the defendants would not discuss their plans.

Potts urged prosecutors in West Virginia to re-evaluate the case and he said that Williams wants people convicted to be released from prison.

Brian Abraham, the former Logan County prosecutor who pursued the cases, said authorities realized early in the investigation that they could not rely on statements from Williams, who tended to embellish and exaggerate details. Instead, he said, the seven defendants were convicted on their own statements and physical evidence.

"If she's going to say that she made it all up, that's absurd," Abraham said. "This looks like another attempt to generate more publicity."

Lawyers for the seven did not immediately return phone calls Wednesday or declined to comment. Abraham said none of the seven have appealed.
Potts said he did not know why the defendants have pleaded guilty to something they did not do.
He said Williams is aware that she could face legal consequences for fabricating the story and that he wants to have her psychologically evaluated. He said Williams told him certain people were controlling her and influencing her during the case. He did not elaborate.

He said she now lives with a caregiver, but would not give further details.
In a January interview with The Call & Post, a black newspaper in Cleveland, Williams acknowledged she had been mistreated but said her mother made her embellish the story for exposure and financial gain. Williams told the newspaper that she was afraid of her mother, who knew some of the defendants.

Williams' mother, Carmen Williams, died in June. Potts said he did not know what role the mother might have had in fabricating the case.

In a phone call to the AP on Wednesday, Sharpton said the matter should be handled delicately, citing "psychological issues" with Williams.

"This isn't cut and dried either way," he said. "Right is right, but I have no idea if tomorrow her story will change back."

Author Teri Woods Fam & Friends Barred From Her Book Release Party Because They Were Black ?!

Teri Moore, author of "True to the Game", "B-More Careful", and "Beat the Cross" just to name a few was the victem of alleged racism in NYC. As an aspiring unpublished author myself ( shameless plug ), I can only imagine how she felt. She's filed a $1 Billion bias lawsuit. Her suit claims the club didn't want to admit black and or fat guest.Teri, call me ! Peep the story below.

Apparently the Greenhouse has a blacklist.
On what was supposed to be a night of celebration, author Teri Woods says she and her friends and family were humiliated when a tony SoHo nightclub denied them entrance -- allegedly because they were black.

Now a $1 billion class-action racial bias lawsuit has been filed against a popular nightclub on Varick Street.

Author Teri Woods, who is black, invited 175 guests to a signing for her new book, "Alibi," at Greenhouse in Manhattan on August 6.

But Woods said the majority of her black guests were barred from entering the club. And she said a handful of her guests who were white were allowed inside.

"They left all of my friends and family standing outside," Woods told the Daily News. "I had really serious people out there: lawyers, doctors and people in the entertainment industry... I was embarrassed."

Club owner Barry Mullineaux called the allegations "bogus." He declined further comment.
Woods said she has text messages sent from Mullineaux to Woods' party promoter.
In one message, the owner allegedly said he couldn't allow "300-pound girls" in the club.

"There was nobody out there who was fat," said Woods. "And even if there was a fat person, who cares?"

10 Tell Tell Signs That Someone Is Lying To You

Is it me, or does it seem like someone is always lying to you about something. You know it, everyone around knows it, but they keep on going with the story. Below are the 10 signs to know when someone is hitting you with a "Tall Tale"

1.) Study Body Language - when someone is lying or claiming falsities, there are almost always physical clues. For example, a stiff demeanor, wringing of the hands, a nervous sway, sweating and fidgeting are, in some cases, a dead give away. A lot of times people tend to overlook the subtleties.

2.) Probe for Details- sadly, someone who is lying will go out of their way to convince you that he or she is telling the truth, including enduring a semi-cross examination. If you seek details of the proposed truth, there are bound to be holes through the story. The devil is in the details so circle back and ask specific questions and, more often than not, the liar is bound to slip up.

3.) Refusal to Cooperate – if a person is lying, they will sometimes try to dodge the entire conversation by storming off to another room when questioned, accusing you of being untrustworthy and insecure. If a person is telling the truth, they have nothing to hide and no reason to avoid your questions. But the moment your inquisitions spark erratic behavior and refusal to cooperate, you’re more than likely not going to get the truth.

4.) Sketchy Eye Contact – people who lie hardly notice that they display telltale signs. Eye contact is one of the easiest ways to gauge if a person is telling the truth. Often times, a liar will have shifty eye contact, and the eyes will drift around the room. People who have mastered the craft, will have no problem looking you in the eyes and telling a bold face lie, and these are the people you want to avoid at all costs.

5.) Watch for Stress Indicators – when a person is stressed with the idea of coming clean and decides to take the lying route, psychologists say that dilated pupils and a change in vocal pitch are very common amongst liars. In this case, if someone is trying to convince you of non-truths, their voice suddenly shoots up a few octaves, and they look like a deer in headlights, he or she could be lying.

6.) Listen For Pauses – if someone is in a situation that calls for immediate damage control and resorts to lying, he or she will have to make up a story on the spot. While making up a story isn’t hard for some, they will pause for a beat or two to collect their thoughts and think of the next part of the lie. This is how one lie leads to many and remember to ask detailed questions.

7.) Listen and Ask Again- if you’re asking questions throughout a liar’s storytelling process, you, yourself, may tend to forget what you’ve asked and the answers given. But if you’re quiet and listening, the liar will feel that they’ve prevailed and are no longer on guard. But once, they’re finished with their story, ask him or her to repeat the story again from beginning to end, and there are bound to be inconsistencies. Be weary though, smart people lie better than most.

8.) Watch for Catchphrases – someone who wants to appear as though they’re telling the truth may use phrases like, “honestly” or “to be honest.” In other words, this person is making a conscious effort to be “honest,” which could mean everything that was said prior to “to be honest” could be a lie, or everything after the “honestly” could be untrue as well.

9.) Be Honest With Yourself - the truth hurts, and sometimes people say they want the truth but will gladly believe a lie, and this is why liars succeed. Some will willingly lie to someone who has a weakness for them, and know how to maneuver to produce the desired results. But does the story really make sense? Don’t ask questions you don’t want answers to, or get lied to. Pick your poison.

10.) Trust Your Gut - intuition is something a lot of people have learned to ignore or overlook with age. But be in touch with your inner-self; if something inside says, “this is not right,” or you get the distinct feeling someone is trying to get over on you, trust your instincts and take that as all the truth you need.

A Year In Jail For Back Child Support For A Child That Wasn't His. Ouch !

This rather remedial looking gentleman to your left caught a back child support case for a kid that wasn't his, and spent a year in jail. Wow !!

Frank Hatley was just released from prison after he was jailed for not paying child support for a child that is not his:
Frank Hatley spent the past year in jail for being a deadbeat dad. But there’s one problem — Hatley doesn’t have any children. And, the “deadbeat” label doesn’t fit the 50-year-old either, his supporters say. After a hearing, Hatley was released from the Cook County Jail in south Georgia Wednesday afternoon, with the help of the Southern Center for Human Rights.

Superior Court Judge Dane Perkins ruled that Hatley was indigent and should not be jailed for not being able to make child support payments. Perkins postponed a decision on whether Hatley should have to make any more back payments on child-support for a child who is not his.

In June of last year, a judge ordered Hatley to jail for failing to reimburse the state for public assistance that was paid to support his “son,” who, as the court was aware, is not actually his son.The story dates back to 1986, when Hatley had a relationship with Essie Lee Morrison. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Morrison told Hatley that the child was his, but……the couple ended their relationship shortly after the boy’s birth, according to court documents. The couple never married and never lived together, the documents state.

When the boy turned 2, Morrison applied for public support for her son. Under Georgia law, the state can go after the non-custodial parent to recoup the assistance. For 13 years, Hatley made payments to the state until learning, in 2000, that the boy might not be his biological son. A DNA test that year confirmed that there was no chance he was the father, according to court documents. Hatley returned to court and was relieved of any future child support reimbursement but was ordered to pay more than $16,000 that he had owed the state before the ruling.

Latesha Bradley, an attorney who represented Hatley in that hearing, told CNN the argument for keeping Hatley liable for the back payments was that he had signed a consent agreement with the office of child support services. The court agreed that Hatley had to comply with the consent agreement for the period that he believed the boy was his son.

Court documents show that Hatley for the most part continued to make payments. He was jailed for six months in 2006 for falling behind on payments during a period of unemployment, but afterward he resumed making payments and continued to do so even after he lost another job in 2008 and became homeless, court records state. Last year, he again became unable to maintain the payments and was once again jailed.

The circumstances of Hatley’s arrest didn’t feel right to many, including Cook County Sheriff Johnny Daughtrey. “I knew the gentleman’s plight and didn’t know how to help him,” Daughtrey told CNN. About two months ago, when attorneys from the Southern Center for Human Rights visited his jail, Daughtrey alerted them to Hatley’s case.

Left At The Alter Via Email ?!? Damn That's Cold !

Technology is really something isn't it. It sounds like there's a little more to this story. I'm sure we'll be hearing about it soon.

Former Net star Richard Jefferson admitted yesterday that he told his beautiful bride-to-be that their wedding was off in an email- stunning her just days before their planned posh nuptials.

Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols got the heart-wrenching message after a tense Fourth of July weekend, Jefferson told The Post.

“There was a lot of stress and tension in the relationship. We’ve been through a lot — but we just couldn’t continue,” said Jefferson, sounding upset during a telephone interview.
But at least Nichols got a nice parting gift — Jefferson, who was traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the San Antonio Spurs last month, said he’s giving her a “six-figure” settlement so she can start a new life.

“I won’t say a negative word about Kesha. She is one of my best friends,” said Jefferson, who courted for nearly five years.

He said things came to a head when they celebrated July 4 in LA, a week before their planned July 11 wedding at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental on Columbus Circle.
After Nichols boarded a plane back to New York the next day, Jefferson said, he sent her the devastating e-mail.

“Sometimes you might write an e-mail to get your thoughts down right,” he explained.
After Nichols — and the message — arrived in New York, the couple spoke by phone for two hours, Jefferson said.

“It was a conversation Kesha and I had,” he said, adding only that it was “a combination of things” that led to the split.
Jefferson said they haven’t spoken in a week.

“It’s been an emotional time for both of us,” he said. “I know she’s hurt. I’m hurt, too.”
The couple had planned to top off their $500,000 wedding with a honeymoon in London, where they had tickets to one of the Michael Jackson comeback shows.

Of the money he’s giving Nichols, Jefferson said, “I’m not trying to buy her off. She has a lump sum to help her move on.”
He added, “I’ve made my mistakes in this relationship, 100 percent. But at the end of the day, there were some people who were responsible for the demise of it.”

He insisted a rumor he’s gay had nothing to do with the breakup.
“I’m not gay,” Jefferson said. “That couldn’t be any further from the truth. I have nothing to hide.”
Nichols could not be reached.

On July 6, Jefferson told his family the wedding was off.Kesha told her family and friends the next day, he said.Because some out-of-town guests were already in, or en route to, New York, they decided to go through with a dinner that was supposed to have been part of the wedding celebration, Jefferson said.

The jilted bride, a former Net dancer, checked into the Mandarin and spent what would have been her wedding night in a luxury suite. A fellow dancer pal of Kesha, Keltie Colleen, wrote on her blog that Nichols was “going through some serious grief.”

None of Jefferson’s family made the trip. “My family didn’t take this well. I’m the last one not to have married,” said Jefferson, the son of Christian missionaries. “My family was looking forward to me starting a family of my own.” Jefferson flew to Paris last week with some basketball buddies. He went “only because I care about her so much that I didn’t want to change my mind after those emails were sent,” he said. “I didn’t want to start missing her and decide, ‘let’s do this.”‘ “It’s so crazy, the divorce rate out there,” Jefferson added. “If you aren’t 100 percent certain about something, you shouldn’t do it.”

Sorry Ladies's, But This Is Why I Don't Do Domestics

I'm sorry, but's there's no 'S" on my chest. This brother thought it was a good idea to help a lady who was getting "Chris Brown'd", and ended paying with his life.

This man pulled the trigger on a black man who was just trying to help his wife out. The man pictured up top was kicking her tail, when the two brothers stepped in to help her, the moron shot one of the men and killed him:
Fitchburg police said a man has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting Tuesday night after calling 911 and claiming to be the shooter.Police said Perry Lucas, 28, of Fitchburg, is tentatively charged with first-degree intentional homicide.
The shooting occurred at an apartment building in the 3300 block of Leopold Way, just before midnight, police said.Police said a disturbance took place inside the apartment building, and Lucas, a resident there, pulled out a gun and shot two men multiple times in the building’s hallway.One of the victims, Detarius Martin, 23, of Madison, was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The Dane County Coroner’s Office said preliminary autopsy findings indicate that Martin died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds.His brother, a 27-year-old, is hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.Police said even though the person who they believe pulled the trigger is in custody, the incident is still concerning.
“You have three people who basically meet for the first time last evening and some sort of altercation breaks out and shots get fired, and one of the three people is dead. That’s a concern. It’s a tragedy, quiet honestly,” said Lt. Chad Brecklin, of the Fitchburg Police Department.
An exact motive is still not known, but police said they do not believe drugs or gang involvement played a role in the shooting. The Fitchburg Police Department said that officers do respond to that particular area for disturbance calls regularly, but they do not consider it a troubled area.
Now, that is what the article read, but here is what happened from someone close to the situations perspective:
I have a story that I believe you guys should cover. In my Home Town of Madison Wisconsin a friend of mine was murdered. He happened to be an African American man. He was at his brothers house when him and his brother heard noises of the man upstairs from them beating his girl friend (they happened to be white).
They decided to go upstairs and intervene because they thought they were helping. Instead they got into an altercation with the white man and he shot and Killed my friend Tari Martin, and shot and injured his brother. I honestly believe if the tables were turned and the man that was killed was white and it was black man beating a white women, this would have made national headlines.
