Podcast: Special Rustbelt Radio report on Jordan Miles (extended 24 minute version)

May 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

The feature takes a look back at the 15 months since Jordan was beaten, the recent news that the federal government are not going to prosecute the cops for civil rights violations of Miles—which the Mayor and Police Chief are trying to spin as a blanket pardon.

Listen to speakers including Tim Stevens, Paradise Gray, Brandi Fisher, Jordan Miles, Terez Miles, Bria Adams, the city government and police, and a cast of tens of thousands.

Find out what happened on that night of January 12th, 2010, what myths persist in the media reporting, and what’s next for the Justice for Jordan Miles campaign.

Nigel Parry produced this extended 24-minute report about recent updates in the Jordan Miles case, for JusticeforJordanMiles.com, from a shorter piece for Rustbelt Radio‘s 9 May 2011 show.
