Finally Free!!!!!!!!


Mychal Bell was finally released yesterday from custody. Thousands had begged and pleaded for his release and their prayers were finally answered when the juvenile court judge decided to lower his bond to $45,000. Earlier in the day, Mr. Bell was transferred to a juvenile facility since his case was rightfully transferred to juvenile court. Authorities in the town of Jena, Louisiana have been criticized for their handling of this case. Mychal and five other teens were all charged with attempted murder following a fight with a white student. Those charges were eventually lowered, but the three white students who hung nooses from a tree at their high school were never charged criminally. All three white students were only suspended from school.
