Sharpton Refuses To Cop A Plea
Rev. Al Sharpton refuses to go out like all those other cooperating Sean Bell protesters and will not accept a deal from the Manhattan DA: "His legal team was not willing to accept the district attorney’s offer for Mr. Sharpton to avoid jail time or fines by pleading guilty. (Disorderly conduct is a violation, not a crime, and would not result in a criminal record.) So the case was put off to July 28 while Mr. Sharpton’s lawyers try to negotiate a better deal." |NYT|
