FREE O.J.! Najee Ali & other activists to hold rally in support of Simpson.
*According to a media advisory sent to EUR early this morning, activist Najee Ali, director of Project Islamic HOPE and a coalition of other black activists are calling for the former N.F.L. running back to be given bail.
At a press conference this morning they will announce an e-mail and letter writing campaign to the judge in Las Vegas who has denied Simpson Bail.
Simpson is currently being held In Las Vegas Nevada on charges of robbery.
"Simpson should be presumed innocent until proven guilty, He has no history of ever being convicted of a crime. Alfred Beardsley, one of the sports memorabilia collectors who was in the hotel room, and who Simpson is accused of robbing has said he wants the case dropped and that he's 'on O.J.'s side.'
"Walter Alexander, 46, of Mesa, Ariz., a friend of Simpson's was arrested Saturday night on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon was released without bail Saturday night. But O.J.is held with no bail? This is judicial racism at its best and makes a mockery of the justice system.
"I'm not defending O.J. I'm defending the rights of all Americans to have justice in the legal system no matter how despised they are," stated Najee Ali.
