Investigation going on since noose was placed around a kindergartener's neck

GRAMBLING -- Grambling State University President Horace Judson said the school has begun a full investigation of facts surrounding a Sept. 20 incident at Grambling Lab's elementary school in which a noose was placed around a kindergartener's neck.

The same day that thousands of protestors marched in Jena, a mock rally of smaller scale took place at Alma J. Brown Elementary School, which is on the GSU campus and run by the university.

Judson said he will meet with officials from the elementary school and the GSU College of Education.

"Everyone wants answers, and I don't have them right now," he said Monday morning.

National attention is aimed at this university today with concerns about child safety following the incident in which teachers used a noose and other means because "the children asked questions" about the Jena Six incident, said Justin LaGrande, a reporter at the GSU student newspaper.

DA In The Jena Six Case Denies The Protests And The Pressure Had Any Bearing On His Desion To Let Bell Go Free

District Attorney Reed Walters said if he had it all to do over again, he would do things differently. He would not change how he prosecuted the case; instead, he would change how he communicated the case. He’s been true to his word. In the past week he’s held two news conferences and written an Op-Ed spot for the New York Times.

Walters denies the protests and the pressure have had any bearing on his actions. No one in town or elsewhere believes him.

This story has grown beyond Jena in many minds. Sometimes the facts seem to just get in the way. Jesse Jackson said all charges should be dropped against Bell and the other members of the "Jena 6." But there was a crime. Classmate Justin Barker was beat up by a group of youths last December at the high school. And it was not just a schoolyard fight. Barker was blindsided with the first punch as he stepped out the door. As he fell he struck his head. He was defenseless as he was repeatedly punched and kicked while he lay unconscious.

Should Jena ignore this crime for the greater good? Ignore it like authorities allegedly ignored white-on-black incidents in the town? Perhaps Bell, who some say wasn't even part of the assault on Barker, should use the line some fostered in the high school after nooses appeared in a tree on campus, that it was "just a prank."

Attorney Reed Walters said he considered when deciding not to appeal said he decidied not to appeal

JENA -- The best interests of Justin Barker, the victim in the highly publicized "Jena Six" case, were what LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters said he considered when deciding not to appeal the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal's decision to overturn Mychal Bell's adult conviction, sending it back to juvenile court.

"This decision comes after thoroughly reviewing the facts and researching the law in this area, as well as consulting with some of the best legal minds that I know of in this state," Walters said. "While I believe that a review would have merit in a very unsettled area of the law, I also believe it is in the best interest of the victim and his family not to delay this matter further and to move it toward a conclusion."
