Tawana Brawley Case Reopened?

This is being reported by CNN. I am not sure what I think about this story, I remember the headlines years ago, it was a big mess and if you aren't familiar with the story this is the case that made Al Sharpton a household name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawana_Brawley It is also the case that damaged his reputation and in my opinion, his exploitation of the case took away some of the credibility of the Brawley family. I just think it is interesting this case is being brought back to the forefront when Al is being called about ignoring crimes against African American women.

Glenda Brawley and Ralph King want to press New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and
state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to re-examine the November 1987 incident,
which a state grand jury ultimately concluded was a hoax, the Daily News
reported.
"New York state owes my daughter. They owe her the truth," said
Glenda Brawley. She reiterated her stance that her daughter was indeed raped by
a group of white men who smeared her with feces and scrawled racial epithets on
her body.
Representatives for Spitzer and Cuomo did not immediately respond
to telephone and e-mail messages.
Brawley was 15 when she went missing for
four days from her home in Wappingers Falls, about 75 miles north of New York.
After being found, she made the shocking allegation that she had been abducted
and raped by six white law enforcement officials.
The case quickly made
headlines and drew the attention of the Rev. Al
Sharpton, who became an outspoken advocate for the teen.
But a
special state grand jury found evidence Brawley had fabricated her story. A
former Dutchess County prosecutor who had been implicated in the case later sued
Brawley, Sharpton and other Brawley advisers for defamation, winning a $345,000
judgment against the advisers and a $185,000 judgment against Brawley.
A
spokeswoman for Sharpton, who was held liable for $65,000 in the case, did not
immediately respond to an e-mail message early Sunday. The former prosecutor's
attorney did not immediately return a telephone message.

Hmmmmm, very interesting. But something happened to that young girl, what, we may never know, because the media and the public became sick of Al Sharpton. The article does not say what Tawana thinks about the request to reopen her case.
