Cincinnati NAACP Back In Court Tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. For The Reed Case
Posted by Media Release
The Cincinnati NAACP will be back in court tomorrow, December 1, 2008 at 10:30 a.m. regarding the child endangerment charges against Mr. Reed. The case will be heard in Judge Mock’s court room. The Cincinnati NAACP attorney representing Mr. Reed is Elizabeth Tye. President Smitherman says, “ We are very confident in Elizabeth Tye’s skills in the court room.”
Mr. Reed had been given a $500,000 straight bond for child endangerment the same week Mrs. Slaby went on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Mr. Reed’s baby was not dead, but he had served 6 days in jail. Attorney Tye filed a motion for a bond reduction and found the State had misrepresented the facts to the court. The State claimed the baby had suffered a broken leg. This was not true. After this finding, no media reported the misrepresentation about these new facts! Judge Mock questioned the State on who had given the court this misinformation and subsequently extended an O.R. Bond to Mr. Reed. President Smitherman says, “ Judge Mock was fair in his decision. However, if the Cincinnati NAACP had not intervened Mr. Reed would still be in jail awaiting his day in court.”
The Cincinnati NAACP hopes our members will take the time out of their busy schedules to show up to court tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. to show support. President Smitherman says, “ Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Slaby are free after the deaths of their children. Mr. Reed must fight for his freedom tomorrow after spending 6 days in jail on a $500,000 bond.” The Hamilton County criminal justice system is broken. President Smitherman says, “ Freedom is not free. Stop talking and do something!”

The NAACP is no friend to children. Because Slaby got away with murdering her child the NAACP devotes its resources to assuring that black parents or boyfriends have the same rights?

That is a ridiculous statement, cincysuz. You know that is not the point.
