Who: A coalition fighting to free Rebecca Whitby, the young Black mother, 25, with a four-month old baby sentenced to 6 months in prison last week by Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Danielle Gaul per the request by Cleveland Fifth District Police officers that an elderly White neighbor, who testified at trial, said she witnessed police beat unnecessarily and call a nigger. A jury found Whiby guilty of one count of assault on a White male police officer and resisting arrest after Gaul kept out evidence at trial that she was allegedly called a nigger and due to other improprieties. The woman has no prior criminal record and should not have been sent to prison.

She is now in the Cuyahoga County Jail per the request of Cleveland police. We must stand up when Black women are allegedly victimized by police with beatings and nigger name calling and then sent to jail by insensitive and unfair White male judges like Gaul, on probation himself for 6 months after the Ohio Supreme Court found him guilty last Oct. of ethics violations against a Black male defendant that came before him.

What: Protest

When: Thursday, March 17, 2011 at 11:30 am

Where: The steps of the Cuyahoga Justice Center on the Lakeside Ave side (1200 Ontario St in Cleveland)

Why: To address an injustice against a Black woman and to seek her release from jail. And, to call attention to the double standard by the predominantly White judges of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas as to the inequitable sentencing process that disenfranchises Blacks and other minorities.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
