UPDATE: MATTHEW MOORE speaks on video about his wrongful conviction in Louisiana. Matthew rejected a teacher's sexual overtures when he was 17, and Anderson retaliated by falsely accusing the teen of revealing his penis to her in the school hall where Matthew worked a summer job. Authorities refused to release videos from the school's surveillance camera to exonerate Matthew. Sentencing is scheduled for August 14
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBGLfWct_SI Weeks after Matthew was falsely accused by Anderson, a bipolar volunteer in the same school. The woman had been forced to undergo psychological counseling by the school's administration because of her compulsive lying. When she heard about Matthew's accusation in the school grapevine, the mentally challenged worker told her own tale of having seen Matthew's penis. Matthew Moore's attorney did not reveal the mental dysfunction of the witness to the jury. Neither did he tell the jury about Anderson's history. A male high school student and his mother had lodged charges against Anderson the prior year, alleging that Anderson was fondling the student. The jury was not informed about the system's refusal to release videos from the school cameras. The jury was not informed that the district attorney was also of counsel for the school board and had a vested interest in protecting the school from more student complaints about the pedophile tendencies of Ms Anderson. The jury was not informed that Matthew Moore's mother had filed a complaint against the district attorney prior to his bringing charges against Matthew, and that he had promised to arrest her son, apparently in retaliation for the complaint she filed. The D.A. refused to recuse himself from Matthew Moore's case, despite his conflicts of interest, and neither would the court recuse him. Juries can only decide cases on the evidence they hear in court. Defense attorneys should ensure that juries have all the evidence that would lead to just decisions, but they often do not do that. In fact, some defense attorneys are private prison stockholders. See Matthew Moore's video embedded below.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE PUBLISHED BEFORE MATTHEW'S CONVICTION BEGINS BELOW:
TRAYVON MARTIN WAS a youth who lost his life to violence. Unfortunately, there are many Trayvons who are killed or injured or imprisoned every day - young men who are minorities or of the working class. This blog will tell their stories. Together, we will give their victimization the attention deserved. We will work for justice on behalf of more Trayvon Martins who lost their lives or suffered catastrophic injuries wrongly and attempt to save some Trayvon Martins who face wrongful incarceration. This blog will tell their stories, carry petitions, and remind us all of a handsome teen who probably died because he wore a hoodie and liked Skittles. (Select "go to page 1" if you use certain cell phones. Stalkers were hired to prevent your knowing about Matthew)
AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, a living Trayvon Martin needs your help. His name is Matthew Moore. Please read the summary below and email Attorney General Eric Holder in support of Matthew Moore using this emal link

Matthew Moore was falsely accused of indecent exposure by a senior female educator while he worked at his school when he was 17 years old in 2009. Working at the school had been Moore's summer job for two years when the 51-year-old educator accused Matthew of walking in the hall behind her with his private parts showing. Matthew was suspended on the basis of the woman's unsubstantiated allegations despite inconsistencies in her story. Matthew's mother, Katherine Conner, asked to see film from cameras in the school's hall that could possibly show what happened, but her request was denied. Conner questioned Matthew's accuser about inconsistencies in the educator's story and actions that Conner found suspicious. The woman became angry and pressed charges against Matthew.
The District Attorney in their Louisiana parish also served as Legal Counsel to the School Board. He already had a vendetta against Conner because she had filed complaints against him and a judge over a year before Matthew was suspended. Katherine Conner had a dispute with an unlicensed contractor from Mississippi who repaired her home after Katrina. The contract between Conner and the contractor required her to pay $7,000 up front and $7,000 upon completion of the work. The contractor asked for and received monies for material purchases several times from Conner during the project. However, when the job was done, Conner's contractor did not subtract those pre-payments from her balance due. Katherine Conner had so much going on when the sub-contractor presented her with a final bill and she wrote him a check for the full $7,000. Immediately after the contractor left her home with her check, Conner remembered the money she had already paid. She called the contractor and asked for him to return the check so she could deduct the amount she already paid. The contractor refused to return Conner's check and accept payment in the correct amount, so Conner canceled the check.
Katherine Conner's contractor accused her of theft of services. She was arrested, prosecuted and convicted regarding a matter that seemed more appropriate for civil court. Conner wrote a complaint against the judge and prosecutor. It appears that the court retaliated against Conner through her son.
Matthew would never do such a thing as he is accused of having done. He is a respectful, hard working young man who had a lovely girlfriend his own age. Until recently, Matthew and Katherine thought they had a witness - another student. But some boys started a fight with Matthew's witness, and the youth was put on probation as a result. At this point, the witness's mother will not let him testify for Matthew out of fear that her own child would be further penalized if he helps Matthew. A major civil rights organization to which Katherine Conner was a member also declined to help Matthew and recommended that she go to another human/civil rights organization..Minorities in Katherine's parish feel intimidated by the power and ruthlessness of the court. Conner said Matthew's attorney is also a disappointment to them as he seems afraid to present all the evidence and subpoena the video from the school's camera.
Matthew is so concerned about COURT ON APRIL 23, 2012, that he went from 130 pounds to around 100 pounds within months. The young man had started school in his community college, but he had to withdraw to save his GPA because of the stress he feels. PLEASE PRAY FOR MATTHEW MOORE AND CONTACT THE USDOJ FOR HIM. DO YOUR BEST TO SOLICIT HELP FOR MATTHEW FROM PEOPLE WHO WOULD CARE ABOUT A PROMISING YOUTH BEING RAILROADED INTO PRISON AS RETALIATION FOR HAVING AN OUTSPOKEN BLACK MOTHER WHO THOUGHT SHE HAD RIGHTS LIKE I ONCE DID. Neither Katherine Conner nor her son had ever experienced any trouble with the law prior to the debacle with the contractor. Please agree it is unacceptable that a fine young man may lose years of his life behind bars as punishment for having an outspoken mom.
Please help to save Matthew Moore, a living Trayvon Martin. He is guilty of nothing and should not lose his freedom or even his life in prison because his mother stood up for herself in their Louisiana parish.

Please don't let Trayvon Martin's death be in vain. Give attention to the young people you read about in the SAVE LIVING TRAYVONS blog and other news sources. Help them, please, or assist their families' justice quests you read about young people who suffered wrongful death in this blog like Trayvon did. Let no murder, abuse, or wrongful prosecution go without helping to expose and oppose the injustice. By consistently demanding accountability about such abuses, we can reduce or even eliminate them altogether. Let us henceforth be so vigilant that the Zimmermans of the world will count the cost before harming another child.
Trayvon Martin's shooting death gets exceptional attention, and his outrageous murder helped raise awareness about such tragedies that are all too common. Insist on the same accountability for every murder, abuse, and wrongful prosecution that minority and working class youths suffer. Whenever we expose and oppose injustice against a young person, we make the world safer for living Trayvons.
Help show the Zimmermans of America that we won't take it any longer. We are all Trayvon Martin! We are all Matthew Moore!
