Hello Ladies of Delta Sigma Theta,
Pardon me, but I just had to add in on this thread. There has been a vast amount of incorrect assumptions in this case. In reference to the article placed above my post, the "incidents" cited have been disputed by numerous members of Marcus's school. The young lady who said Marcus "fingered" her did not report this "molestation" until after the case became public. Also, it hasn't been metioned that after the charges were brought several detectives went to the high school and basically "coached" girls into giving statements against Marcus. I'm not saying he's innocent, I don't know and that really doesn't matter because the jury said he wasn't. All states have the ability to enforce "harsh" punishments for those who have sex with a minor, but TEN YEARS? Seeing as GA is the SAME state that a few months prior to this gave a White male 18 months for molesting a 4 yr old child, something seems fishy. Also, the detective who many of you saw on Orpah has been cited as a "racialist" and was dropped from a case several years ago due to his "choice of words."
This is a very sad, sad, case. As someone stated previously, when will people learn? Just because it's 2004 doesn't mean people have changed, they've only gotten older.
