All in The Family: Boston Police to Parents Say, “Stop Lying for Your Gang-Banging Punk Kids!”
They’re trying to be all nice and restrained when they talk to the press about it, but make no mistake: the Boston Police are pissed. BPD Commissioner Kathleen O’Toole is demanding parents crack down on their hoodlum teens in the wake of two cases where parental perjury obstructed justice. In one case, 45-year-old Nadine Sanders lied for her son in front of a grand jury to prevent him from being indicted in the murder of Alexander Smith. (Kevin Sanders was finally convicted last week in a second trial.) In an even more outrageous example of fostering bad values, Cynthia Cousin not only lied to give her son Joseph an alibi, she showed up to court wearing a t-shrit that said “Stop Snitchin’”. The t’s are apparently big sellers across the nation right now. And why shouldn’t they be? Because, you know, the worse thing you can do in the world is snitch. Taking part in a shootout that left 10-year-old Trina Persad dead? Hey baby, it’s cool - so long as you don’t snitch, mommy will still love you!
I’ve included a photo after the jump of Trina Persad’s mother, Bernadette Fernandes, holding up a photo of her little girl in court. What a beautiful girl. What a fucking shame. (Photo courtesy of the Boston Herald, which they ran alongside a depressing story about how one of the defendants in the trial was acquitted before prosecutors discovered that three of the jury members had not disclosed their criminal records. Nice.)
