New Evidence Released in Bail Hearing Today in Controversial Case
Civil Rights Leaders say murder charge against San Francisco Youth is about race.
CLEAR LAKE, LAKE COUNTY, June 12Civil rights leaders, civic leaders, church leaders and a host of letters support the call this morning for bail for San Francisco youth, Renato Hughes, charged with double homicide. The bail motion, filed by well-known San Francisco attorney Stuart Hanlon, states there is no physical evidence tying Mr. Hughes to the scene where his two childhood friends were shot in the back and killed.
The two youth who were killed, Rashad Williams and Christian Foster, both African-American and from San Francisco, as well as Mr. Hughes, are all known for their civic and community engagement. An extensive sampling of Mr. Hughes commitments including his involvement with church, his playing cello with the Golden Gate Orchestra, his academic and athletic record and his gold medals at the U.S. Junior Olympics in Tae Kwan Do are being submitted in support of bail.
Letters in support of the motion for bail come from a host of leaders, including:
* Ross Mirkarimi, Board of Supervisors Member
*Rev. Amos Brown, Third Baptist Church Minister
*Shawn M. Richard, Executive Director, Brothers Against Guns
Williams and Foster were both shot and killed by a white man, Shannon Edmonds. Mr. Edmonds admits shooting the young men, but claims it was self-defense. Mr. Hughes is charged in the death of his friends through provoking the murders.
The motion for bail for Renato Hughes releases new evidence in the case that refutes the self-defense claim and shows racial motivation for the killings. The bail motion questions why the district attorney would use the theory of provocation and implied fear of bodily injury even though two of the victims were shot in the back as they fled and were no threat. New evidence shows that Edmonds, the shooter, in a statement given hours after the shooting to the police said it was funny to watch one of the victims, Christian Foster, run and fall after he was shot because his pants were falling down and the shooter could see Fosters ass. In addition, the white shooter also had called several other African-American young men earlier in the day niggers in an altercation.
Van Jones, Executive Director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights said the district attorney had to look hard to find someone black to pin the crime on.
Its outrageous that anyone is able to chase down and shoot unarmed youth and not be put on trial for that killing. The DA has really gone through the looking glass here to avoid charging the white man who admits to killing people and find a black person to charge with the killing. The facts are that two young black men were running away from the house and were shot in the back. Thats not self-defense, thats execution. On top of this, there isnt a single shred of evidence that links Renato Hughes to the scene of the crime, Jones said.
Dr. Amos Brown, President of the San Francisco Branch of the NAACP, said Mr. Hughes and his family are members of his congregation and worked as an intern in the freedom schools the church hosts for two summers. He will attend the bail hearing in support of the Hughes family.
My primary concern is that there must be justice and fairness in this case and you can not have justice and fairness if there is a tinge of racial motivation. Secondly, it has been alleged that the assailant was dealing drugs, and this causes me to raise more questions. Can there be fairness and justice in this kind of a climate? The NAACP stands with his family to make sure Renato Hughes receives adequate legal defense and justice. Too many African Americans have been railroaded into the criminal justice system. The facts speak for themselves. Too many of us, disproportionately are locked up and going to the gas chamber. We are only 7 percent of the population in California yet, in the criminal justice system, we are fifty percent. There is something rotten in the justice system in this state. Our position in this case is to get the facts, let the wheels of justice roll and be fair. We stand with the Hughes family, Dr. Brown said.
Hughes, 21, had attended San Jose State University prior to his arrest, receiving several scholarships, including one from the Black Educators and another from Economic Opportunity Program at San Jose State. Hughes civic and academic record is impressive. He has involvements including ongoing church mentoring, ushering and singing in the choir; gold medals for Tae Kwan Do in the Junior Olympics; and playing cello with the Golden Gate Harmony Orchestra. He attended Archbishop Riordan High School, where he was a student body officer, musician, football player and track and field athlete. He serve as vice-president of his class and was featured on the cover of Riordans brochures and pamphlets. He was the master of ceremonies for the graduation ceremony for Riordan during his sophomore year. After the loss of his father, he transferred to a public school, Mission High School, where he also played football, and graduated from there.
A sampling of his lengthy civic, church, and academic involvements is being presented to the court in support of his bail. A list of his achievements created by his mother is available to the media. Both of Hughes parents worked in the San Francisco Unified School District.
