The Trial begins October 27, 2014 at Berrien County Courthouse, 811 Port St., St. Joseph, MI.
Rev. Edward Pinkney, the community activist from Benton Harbor, has been bound over for trial on false charges. Rev. Pinkney is facing prosecution on five counts of election fraud which are felonies, as well as six misdemeanors. If found guilty he could be sentenced up to twenty-five years in prison. It's Berrien county's 3rd try to imprison the Rev.
There is absolutely no evidence that Pinkney did anything wrong. The petition dates could have been changed by election clerk Carolyn Toliver, Mayor James Hightower (Lowtower), or Berrien county sheriff deputies.
Rev. Pinkney did not change a date.
The fight continues. Rev. Pinkney is just one man, who, like many others, will not fall under pressure; it will only strengthen him.
The battle in Berrien County continues against the corrupt politicians, local government, and Whirlpool Corporation who have staged a complete takeover of Benton Harbor.
The tug of war continues.

In addition:
The Jury has been selected for Pinkney's trial and it's ALL white
The Berrien County trial beginning this Monday at 8:30am now has a jury and it's all white. Rev. Pinkney is from Benton Harbor, 96% African-American, but the jurors are from the surrounding white towns.
Here are some other glaring irregularities:
--Prosecutor Mike Sepic on 3 or 4 occasions asked the jury pool, "Could you convict someone without evidence?" Right after he asked this question each time he nodded his head - indicating that they should answer in the affirmative.
--Prosecutor Sepic also told the jury pool several times that evidence was not necessary in order to convict someone. Only in Berrien County...
--Judge Schrock did everything he could to help Prosecutor Sepic.

What's really happening to the people of Benton Harbor:
The thrust [of the Berrien county courthouse] is to physically remove and destroy families through the use of the criminal justice system. Every person they can put in jail; every person whose voting rights they can revoke with a felony conviction; every person they can cause to lose their job by putting them on probation; every person they can cause to lose the ability to pay for basic necessities through imposing ruinous court costs and probation is all part of the process. In the 1960s, it was called Negro removal. In Bosnia, it was called ethnic cleansing. It could be called genocide, the removal of the minority population for the purpose of redevelopment of the land. That’s what’s happening in Benton Harbor and the foremost leader of the resistance is Rev. Edward Pinkney. --Civil rights attorney, Hugh "Buck" Davis
