Louis
First, I would like to thank all of the people who sent me such kind and supportive emails about my new site and all of the ridiculous issues that I had to go through to get some justice for my children's father, Louis A. McCall. I will have much more to say about the journey that finally got us closer to a modicum of justice. I can't tell you much more about the status of the case because the District Attorney's office has labeled me persona non grata due to my unwillingness to let them bully me when the news of the suspect's "accidental" escape became known to the media. So now I can't even get the courtesy and respect of a phone conversation with the prosecutor who is trying the case. No matter. I have done what I set out to do - to keep the case from consistently being thrown in a non-existent "cold case file cabinet" when Dekalb County doesn't even have an active cold case squad. If the family of the victim doesn't act a fool like I did, their loved one's case will just be overlooked in favor of the more high-profile cases, particularly the crimes against white people. Die in Dekalb and you will be forgotten. Do you realize that in 10 years, one of the only FOUR communiqués that I received from Dekalb County was a sympathy card from former Sheriff Sidney Dorsey? Know where he is now? In prison for life after he orchestrated the December 2000 assassination of his successor, Derwin Brown, just 3 days before the new Sheriff was supposed to take his oath of office. Then, after one of his "partners in crime". a Dekalb County Deputy Sheriff, decided to testify against him, Dorsey allegedly tried to have the Deputy killed. Oh, well, he shot the Sheriff, but could not kill the Deputy! Instead of compensating Mr. Brown's family for their loss, the county appealed the wrongful death suit won in November 2004. Brown's widow, already incapacitated from strokes after having her husband die in her arms, succumbed to her illnesses almost six years to the day after her husband's death, on Christmas Eve 2006.
So that's the kind of law enforcement agency that I am up against. At this point, I don't care if they convict the alleged killer or not. I have done what I think that Louis would have wanted me to to - fight for him to have his day in court. What he wouldn't want me to do is exacerbate my lupus any further than I have, stressing myself out trying to fight a system which doesn't give a shit about its citizens. I am NOT going to let Dekalb County drive me to an early grave like Mrs. Brown. May she rest in peace and she will always be in our prayers.
