Been tellin y’all about these 2 for years, and not just these 2, sellout leaders, clergy, actorvists and protesters but I was hating, right? John Muhammad is currently serving fed time for bribery and corruption, the only surprise was for how little he sold out for: an iPhone, used vehicle and a coupla stacks.
Feeling the same surprise with Brandon Bosley, given his family’s legacy, his father Freeman Bosley being one of the city’s longest serving black aldermen and his brother Freeman Bosley Jr serving as the city’s first black mayor. Given the battles he’s seen his father and brother have to fight, one would think he would know better. He didn’t and that’s what makes his fall that much worse.
Things started going south for Brandon after he Facebook lived an enounter he had with a homeless woman claiming she tried to carjack him, but not only did his video not show the encounter he described, it appeared to show him committing a crime against the woman. Talks swirled about Bosley possibly getting arrested to which he alluded to that if he went down, he wasn’t going alone. Kim Gardner declined to press charges. Not even a year later he lost his reelection bid and became the 4th city official indicted by the Feds. The others Lewis Reed, John Muhammad and Jeffrey Boyd are all serving fed time.
Things just got worse for Bosley. His legal journey hit a snag with his legal team. Despite attorney Paul Sims attempting to step away from representing Bosley due to what he termed an “impasse,” Bosley has yet to secure new legal representation. This hiccup was evident at a recent status conference where Sims, despite previously moving to withdraw, continued to appear as Bosley’s attorney. The judge’s denial of Sims’ motion to step down highlighted Bosley’s current situation—he’s stuck without legal counsel, even after ample time to secure new representation.
In the midst of this legal tangle, the nature of the impasse between Bosley and Sims remains shrouded in attorney-client confidentiality. The indictment against Bosley, linked to alleged instances of wire fraud involving an insurance company and purported bribery, adds complexity to the situation. Bosley’s quoted remarks in the indictment highlight a defiant stance, but his current legal limbo underscores the need for prompt action in securing new representation as the legal proceedings loom ahead.
His remarks didn’t surprise me. He was every bit as defiant when he came for me on the stlhiphop FB page when I questioned his/his family’s legacy for all their years in power… and not just the Bosleys, what, if anything did all these black political dynasties actuallu DO for black St. Louis other than be black asses in seats controlled by white liberals and progressives. Fair game, they all ran on being black and for all their years in power the black community has nothing to show for any of it.
And is worse off.
