Teen at center of 'Jena 6' case back in jail - USATODAY.com

Teen at center of 'Jena 6' case back in jail - USATODAY.com: "LaSalle Parish Judge J.P. Mauffrey sentenced Bell to a secure juvenile facility for 18 months for two prior cases said activist Al Sharpton, who had been working to release Bell. Bell, 17, was convicted earlier this year on a simple battery charge and for property damage in cases unrelated to the beating of the student.

"I call upon the Governor of Louisiana, who has the overseeing powers over the juvenile criminal justice system to meet with us to immediately intervene on this obviously biased decision by the same Judge," Sharpton said in a news release Thursday night."

Who else think that Bell should be released, but only under Sharpton's direct and personal supervision, meaning Bell has to reside in Sharpton's home with him?
