JUSTICE FOR SEAN
BELL AND ALL VICTIMS OF POLICE VIOLENCE!!
COME OUT APRIL 25th - VOICE YOUR OUTRAGE!!
In Nov. 2006, Sean Bell was murdered by the NYPD in a hail of 50 bullets. His friends - Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman - were seriously injured. 3 of the officers involved were acquitted of all charges in a bold affront to the human rights of Sean Bell and all of us.
PEOPLES JUSTICE for Community Control and Police Accountability is calling for a rally and community speak-out in front of the Queens DA's office ON THIS DAY*.
COME OUT: FRIDAY APRIL 25th 5:30 pm
@ the Queens DA's
Office
125-01 Queens Blvd.
(between Hoover Ave & 82nd Ave.)
E or F train to Union
Turnpike
The NYPD's murder
of Bell and attempted murders of Benefield and Guzman are NOT isolated or
random events. They represent the continued targeting of communities of color
by the police and the lack of accountability for police misconduct and abuse.

The NYPD Murder of Sean Bell
|
|
Monday, 24 March 2008 |
Following are brief descriptions of last night's Bell family vigil, and the trial proceedings on Monday, March 24th, 2008 at court.
Monday 3/24 Morning Court Proceedings in Bell trial
Johnell
Hankerson, a friend of Sean Bell and brother-in-law of Nicole
Paultre-Bell, testified this morning as a prosecution witness. His
testimony included the fact that at no point did he hear police
identify themselves prior to their barrage of bullets. 2 of the
defense attorneys cross-examined Mr. Hankerson this morning. With
questioning ranging from the ridiculously mundane, to confusing to
bizarre, both attempted to continue the defense strategy of seeking to
criminalize Sean Bell and his friends as a way to discredit their
testimony and build a shaky argument of justification for the cops.
With the possibility of Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman taking
the stand this week or next, Peoples Justice urges our communities will
continue to show support to the Bell family and stand for justice by
coming out to court when possible. Peoples Justice will continue to be at court each Monday until the trial is over.
If you are available to attend the trial, please contact Orlando at
