It Is OK Because Oprah said so
Winfrey helps man apologize for murder
February 1, 2007
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT---- A 21-year-old man freed from custody for a murder he committed at age 11 has apologized to the victim's family, with help from Oprah Winfrey.
Nathaniel Abraham, who lives in Bay City, traveled to Chicago with the intent of appearing on Winfrey's TV show Wednesday. But the taping was canceled at his lawyer's request.
Hours before the planned taping, Abraham met in Winfrey's private office with the family of murder victim Ronnie Greene Jr., 18, whom Abraham shot with a rifle in 1997.
Abraham lawyer Daniel Bagdade watched the exchange and said Winfrey ''kind of mediated the apology.''
''It was very riveting. Nate's story was not on camera today. We ended up doing the apology in Oprah's office. It was incredible. It was absolutely incredible,'' Bagdade told The Detroit News.
Winfrey's Harpo Production Co. said Bagdade revoked Abraham's consent to appear on Winfrey's show.
Abraham was 13 when an Oakland County jury convicted him of second-degree murder. He finished serving his juvenile sentence Jan. 18.

I'm really not surprised that Pedro watches Oprah!
For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.

How touching. Bets on how quickly this guy goes back to jail?
Pedro, man card. Now. Give it here.And Shepards we shall be,
for thee, My Lord, for thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy Command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls will it ever be.
In Nomine Patris, Et Filli, Et Spiritus Sancti.

man card...
ROFLMAOhttp://www.allpoetry.com/Grunts%20Girl
We dallied under
Vine maples and sapling alders
Searched for lady slippers
But instead
Found blackberry riots and
Desiccated branches
An old skid road
Brought ghost ferns and
Hollows filled with
Skunk cabbage
While waves wrapped
Intricate lacings of weeds
'Round mule spinners
His cyanotic eyes
Were hard enough to make
The sun turn tail and
Tender enough to attract me
To his world of illusion

Whoa. On this side of the Lake you could get shot for calling someone that...or at least get pummeled heavily. Originally Posted by keith758

We do,however, like Da Bearss.Anything posted here does not represent the opinion of any agency anywhere ever.
Hell, it doesn't necessarily represent the opinion of the poster and is subject to change at any time.
Deal with it.

i guess youll spend tonight watching the lifetime channel and having a "good cry"
in the warriors code there's no surrender, though his body says stop, his spirit cries...NEVER. deep in our souls, a quiet ember, knows its you against you, its the paradox that drives us all. its a battle of wills, in the heat of attack, its the passion that kills, and victory is yours alone.
the posts and opinions stated by me do not in any way reflect the values, beliefs, or views of my department. they are simply opinions and/or observations which have been developed through my personal experiences. hell, most of the stories probably arent even true...wink wink

ooohhhhhh Oprah once talked about 'tossing the salad' on her 4pm show.. She sucks donkey nuts. BUT she is the QUEEN so she can do or say what she wants to...
A monday morning lunatic, disturbed from time to time. Temporary catatonic madman on occasion..
Lightning crashes a new mother cries, her placenta falls to the floor. The angel opens her eyes,the confusion sets in before the doctor can even close the door..
The views and comments of E-man are mine and mine alone and therefore might not reflect the views of others or people in my current department. As such since this is still America I can post what I want without fear of retribution. I think.
RIP Eric

You know I have never picked on pedro.....although I have seen it done quite a bit........but I have to say I am really offended about him watching oprah, and I believe he should appologize to all men and should have his man card at least suspended for a period of time....
Any Post I make is my opinion only!
I do not have the authority or the permission to post for my Sheriff's Office.

Where does it say that I watched the Fat Unshaved Armpit womans show? It was in the news paper that she allowed some murderin scumbag on to apologize to a family and that she thought it was ok he did the crime since he apologized. I have never watched Oprah, I think Rosie is a whale, Dr. Phil likes it in the rear, and I do love the Bears.
