Bailey family defends photos

(thenewsstar.com) When asked during a Washington, D.C., news conference sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union about photos of her stepbrother with $100 bills in his mouth, Catrina Wallace said rumors that the money shown in the picture came from the “Jena Six” defense fund are false.

Robert Bailey Jr. had several photos of himself with large amounts of cash posted on the social networking Web site Myspace.com, including one that ran in The Town Talk on Saturday showing him with $100 bills stuffed in his mouth.

“My son, Robert L. Bailey, was employed after being incarcerated,” Caseptla Bailey said. “That is something he decided to do on Myspace. He is a kid. Robert was able to save money, and he also has relatives that have sent him money. That’s something that kids do within the hip-hop community; that’s something that’s portrayed in the media, on BET. He is still a kid, he’s gonna make mistakes. I’m not going to defend a mistake he made.”(more…)
