Nick Gordon is Innocent, Tried to Save Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Life, Lawyers Claim

In July of last year,  Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away  after being found unconscious in the bathtub of her Atlanta-area home and  spending nearly six months in a coma. Just last week, Bobbi Kristina’s official cause of death was confirmed when her autopsy results were released on what would’ve been her 23rd birthday. But while the coroner concluded that the troubled daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown passed away as a result of drug intoxication and accidental water immersion, many still have suspicions about possible foul play, most of which center around Bobbi’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon. There are some who believe Gordon murdered Bobbi , and others who believe he simply didn’t do enough to try and save her life. Today, Gordon’s lawyers issued the following statement to People magazine in hopes of putting a stop to the constant rumors about their client: “Nick Gordon’s life has been tumultuous since January of 2015 when he lost the love of his life. On top of being prohibited from visiting Bobbi Kristina at the hospital for the last six months of her life, Nick has been publicly humiliated for more than a year.  “Throughout that time, the Fulton County District Attorney’s office has tried to make Nick a murderer despite having clear and convincing evidence that Bobbi Kristina’s death was nothing more than a tragic accident, evidence that the District Attorney’s office fought to seal and conceal from the public rather than allowing her fans to know the truth. “The truth is that Nick tried to save Bobbi Kristina’s life. The truth is that Nick cooperated with law enforcement since day one. The truth is that no one loved Bobbi Kristina more than Nick and no one has suffered more as a result of her death than Nick.”  The statement concluded with a call to the Fulton County DA to publicly exonerate Gordon, as a 13-month investigation has revealed that there is “simply no evidence of any wrongdoing.” Bobbi Kristina’s father, Bobbi Brown, has stated that he plans to continue to pursue a wrongful death civil suit against Gordon.

Bill Cosby To D.A.: “Charges Are Meritless, I’m Ready To Fight”

Bill Cosby Says D.A. Is Shady In Case Against Him There’s an interesting twist in the charges brought up against Bill Cosby earlier today . The District Attorney in the case is not even sworn into office yet…and may be trying to “make an example out of him”, as promised to voters. Here’s the report via TMZ : Bill Cosby says he’s the victim of a district attorney trying to make a name for himself in a meritless case. Cosby’s attorneys are indignant, making it clear their client was the centerpiece of a hotly contested election for D.A. in Montgomery County, PA. It’s interesting … Kevin Steele, who went before reporters Wednesday to announce the sexual assault charge is not even the D.A. yet … he takes office Friday, and he ran on a platform of prosecuting Cosby. Cosby’s legal team says they plan to mount a “vigorous defense against this unjustified charge.”   Do you think Cosby has legs to stand on with this claim?

Seriously?? Australian Politician Under Fire By White Locals For Using Black Baby Jesus In Nativity Scene

Australian Politician In Trouble For Using Black Doll In Nativity Australian politician Lizzie Blandthorn is under fire for using ablack baby doll to represent J esus Christ according to The Grio reports: “They don’t understand… I’m Christian myself and I think it’s good,” Blandthorn told 7News, explaining that people who had a problem with the display had a naive perspective of the Christian religion. “When we cut our skin we’ve got blood there… I think that’s more important. How he was, what he did for us.” Blandthorn said that she wasn’t trying to provoke outrage, or even a conversation, with her display. “I wasn’t intending to be provocative. The great thing about the district I represent is that people come from all corners of the globe, all walks of life and every age… It was meant to be a lovely reflection of the true spirit of Christmas,” she said, seemingly confused by all the attention her simple nativity was getting. But, Blandthorn said, the response was not all negative, and she has no plans to take the display down. She has received messages of support from many people who agree with her as well. “Baby Jesus was born for all people of all nations and for all of history and as I said, the response has been overwhelmingly positive,” she said. SERIOUSLY?!!?!?

Investigation Finds That Alabama Cops Have Been Planting Guns And Drugs On Innocent Black People For Decades

Dothan, Alabama Police Framed Innocent African Americans For Decades The police force Dothan, Alabama has been blasted in a new report that digs into nearly 20 years of discrimination and false imprisonment of African American citizens. A new report has exposed a cover-up of an internal affairs investigation that proved that officers in the narcotics investigation squad have routinely planted drugs and weapons on young Black men to secure charges against them since the mid 90’s — motivated by the squad’s affiliation with a racist neo-Confederate group. Via Henry County Report : The Alabama Justice Project has obtained documents that reveal a Dothan Police Department’s Internal Affairs investigation was covered up by the district attorney. A group of up to a dozen police officers on a specialized narcotics team were found to have planted drugs and weapons on young black men for years. They were supervised at the time by Lt. Steve Parrish, current Dothan Police Chief, and Sgt. Andy Hughes, current Asst. Director of Homeland Security for the State of Alabama. All of the officers reportedly were members of a Neoconfederate organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center labels “racial extremists.” The group has advocated for blacks to “return” to Africa, published that the civil rights movement is really a Jewish conspiracy, and that blacks have lower IQ’s. The documents shared reveal that the internal affairs investigation was covered up to protect the aforementioned officers’ law enforcement careers and keep them from being criminally prosecuted. Several long term Dothan law enforcement officers, all part of an original group that initiated the investigation, believe the public has a right to know that the Dothan Police Department, and District Attorney Doug Valeska, targeted young black men by planting drugs and weapons on them over a decade. Most of the young men were prosecuted, many sentenced to prison, and some are still in prison. Many of the officers involved were subsequently promoted and are in leadership positions in law enforcement. They hope the mood of the country is one that demands action and that the US Department of Justice will intervene. The group of officers requested they be granted anonymity, and shared hundreds of files from the Internal Affairs Division. SMH!!! As awful and messed up as this is…it sadly isn’t shocking. We wonder how many other precincts across the nation have been up to the same tricks, but haven’t been caught yet.
