Mychal Bell to be Transferred to Juvenile Facility

District Attorney Reed Walters announced that he will not appeal the 3rd Circuit Court’s decision to overturn his conviction.  Mychal is going to be transferred to a juvenile facility where he will stay pending a court decision to re-instate bail.

I hope bail is set, and set low so the family can actually obtain his release.  But if it isn’t set low enough for the family to arrange for his release, we as a people need to ensure that bail can be put up.  Whether that means that we empower the NAACP or National Action Network or whatever mechanism we can procure to ensure justice.

Congratulations to Gov. Blanco on this move, now let’s pardon Mychal completely.
