Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

January 28, 2008

Geneva France, a 22-year-old single mother, met Jerrell Bray in October 2005. When Bray asked Geneva out, she firmly declined the invitation. A few weeks later she was in jail.

Bray, a drug dealer working as a confidential informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration, accused Geneva of dealing crack cocaine. A police raid of the home Geneva shared with her three young daughters turned up not a molecule of evidence. Yet she was convicted by a federal jury solely on the strength of a drug dealer's testimony.

Last May, Bray was arrested after shooting a man when a drug deal went bad. He is now in prison on perjury charges. Geneva has been freed, along with fifteen others convicted by Bray's testimony.

Although she was reunited with her daughters, Geneva lost her home and has a hard time finding a job. All of this was inflicted on her for refusing the romantic overtures of a federally protected criminal.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
