From CNN Mychal Bell, a black teenager accused of beating a white classmate and who was the last of the “Jena 6″ behind bars, was released from custody Thursday after a juvenile court judge set his bail at $45,000.
Bell’s release followed an announcement from LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters, who said he would not appeal a higher court’s decision moving Bell’s case to juvenile court.
Wearing a blue striped golf shirt and jeans, Bell walked out of the LaSalle Parish courthouse a week after an estimated 15,000-plus demonstrators marched through Jena — a town of about 3,000 — to protest local authorities’ handling of the teens’ case.
“We do not condone violence of any kind, but we ask that people be given a fair and even chance at the bar of justice,” the Rev. Al Sharpton said outside the courthouse.
“Tonight, Mychal can go home, but Mychal is not out of the juvenile process. He goes home because a lot of people left their home and stood up for him,” he said.

What does drug testing and being under house arrest have to do with dog fighting??? Am I the only one asking this??Vick tested positive for the drug on September 13, a court document from the Eastern District of Virginia shows.
As a result, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson ordered Vick to "submit to any method of testing required by the pretrial services officer or the supervising officer for determining whether the defendant is using a prohibited substance."
Those methods could include random drug testing, a remote alcohol testing system "and/or any form of prohibited substance screening or testing," the order said.
Vick, 27, must participate in substance abuse therapy and mental health counseling "if deemed advisable by the pretrial services officer or supervising officer" at his own expense, the order said.
Vick was also ordered to stay home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., "or as directed by the pretrial services officer or supervising officer," the order said. He is to be electronically monitored during that time.
The conditions are to apply until Vick's sentencing, which is set for December 10.

Models parade in outfits made of condoms during a fashion show at the 4th China Reproductive Health New Technologies & Products Expo in Beijing July 11, 2007.Ok, totally random post today, I head Sean Kingston’s new song yesterday and it totally reminded me of the Notting Hill Carnival, which is the one event that takes place in London that I really really miss and really need to make the effort to make sure I’m home for the next one. I’ve been literally every year since I was 17 years old, and always had a dan-dooley time.. Memories, the stories I could tell ya...
Below is a video of highlights of this years event, I really think it captures the true essence of the spirit of Carnival..
For those that don’t know:
Notting Hill Carnival is an annual event which takes place in Notting Hill, London, England each August, over two days (Sunday and the following Bank Holiday).
It has continuously taken place on the streets of Notting Hill since 1965. The carnival has attracted up to 2 million people in the past, putting it the second largest street festival in the world, after
The cute comic from Borat made a big impression with party guests that included Eve LaRue, Wayne Brady, Niecy Nash, Ananda Lewis and her former co-star Ken Davitian from Borat. This was "the" event of the night as TV illustrious stars were dressed to the hilt. Kanye West and John Legend were the big named performers.This was Luenell's first "official" Emmy party and she had a blast. Later papparazzos chased her down the street while she was enroute to another party with her signficant other DeMarco Allen trying to take her photo just like they do for Britney Spears.

TRENTON, N.J. - It's a fashion that started in prison, and now the saggy pants craze has come full circle — low-slung street strutting in some cities may soon mean run-ins with the law, including a stint in jail.
Proposals to ban saggy pants are starting to ride up in several places. At the extreme end, wearing pants low enough to show boxers or bare buttocks in one small
"Are they employed? Do they have a high school diploma? It's a wonderful way to redirect at that point," said Trenton Councilwoman Annette Lartigue, who is drafting a law to outlaw saggy pants. "The message is clear: We don't want to see your backside."

Yesterday a State appeals court threw out the aggravated battery conviction of Mychal Bell, one of the half-dozen black teens facing unusually serious charges for the beating of a white schoolmate amid escalating racial tensions in a small Louisiana town.

He could have gotten 15 years in prison.
His conspiracy conviction in the December beating of student Justin Barker was already thrown out by another court.
