JAMES BAIN: WE HAVE TO TRUST EACH OTHER; CAN'T TRUST THE OUTSIDE

Posted By: g smallwood on December 19, 2009 James Bain, 54, was just 19 years old when he was convicted in 1974. He's always maintained his innocence, and now as a result of help from the Innocence Project of Florida, a nonprofit organization that helped represent Bain and funded the DNA testing, the results proved it. He was finally released this week. On March 4, 1974, the 9-year-old **** was sleeping between his sister and brother when a man silently stole through his bedroom window and took him to a nearby baseball field. According to court records, the boy awoke and his abductor - whom he later described as a young man of 17 or 18 with a mustache, beard and sideburns - ordered him to take off his pants and **** him. The young man ran away, and the boy returned home, wearing a white T-shirt and underwear, which contained ****. The boy told authorities James Bain was the perpetrator. But Miller says the identification was a mistake. In the boy's mind, Bain had become the attacker. The boy's uncle, an assistant principal at Bain's school, told the boy his description sounded like Bain. And when authorities showed him photos of several young men, the boy said he was asked to pick out not his attacker but "Jimmie" Bain. They'd been watching the family's color television - Bain's Christmas gift to his mother - when police knocked on their door They told his siblings they wanted to take Bain to the police station to ask him some questions, so he left with police. Bain was convicted in the courtroom of judge Oliver Greene in 1974. The ****, now 45, lives in Central Florida but could not be reached for comment. The ****'s father told the St. Petersburg Times that his son "is very upset by the news." The **** served in the Marine Corps for five years in his 20s, but later fell apart, and told his father he "couldn't shake the ****." According to Florida Department of Corrections records, the **** has spent time behind bars for various offenses, including **** possession and grand theft. Bain's mother is 77 years old now and in a wheelchair. Upon his release, she said, "I didn't think I was going to see this day," In the book, to be released February 2, 2010, "Black Men Stop!" Chapter TWO, "The Outside," I discuss that we must be able to trust each other because we can not often times trust the outside--police & criminal justice. I urge black men to stop hurting each other and our communities with ****, sex and abandonment of their children; that we need each other.

Hello Ms. Smallwood, What Black Americans need is to become a sovereign people or have complete independence on the portion of this confident that we could call our very own country with borders. In other words, Black Americans need the same help that God gave to the children of Israel while they were in both Egypt and nothing less. Fix what I have just said firmly in your mind and nothing in your book would be necessary that we should be mindful of; we will live as a superior people rather than an inferior people in the world. Okay. Saturday, December 19th 2009 at 12:45PM |

And, sister g. smallwood, I have been wondering where was my long term favorite blogger...writting a book?smile? Thank you so much for this vital information you have provided...can't wait to read your chapter 2... If we as a people plan to continue to SURVIVE we must gain more 'trust' in each other and learn to STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN as those R-E-D signs along with those bells and whistles that are there, because all that is missing is unrelenting Black Pride...YES WE CAN... Yes WE MUST believe in our own Black Powers. PEACE OUT. Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM |
