Jesse Jackson Trial

Jesse Lee Peterson is now likely to get his day in court against Jesse Jackson thanks to a July 12 ruling in California Superior Court. Jackson’s legal team had sought to have Judicial Watch’s lawsuit against Jackson concerning his alleged assault of Peterson dismissed, but were rebuffed by California Superior Court Judge George Wu who indicated that Judicial Watch’s claims are all but certain to go to trial.

Judge Wu ordered a hearing on August 19 where it appears he will determine when the trial is to begin. The conservative Reverend Jesse Lee Petersen, a long-time critic of Jesse Jackson, was the victim of both a physical and verbal attack by Jackson, his son, Jonathan, and television personality Judge Gregory Mathis at a public hearing sponsored by Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.

The event featured speakers from Toyota, announcing the company’s “21st Century Diversity Strategy,” which included a minority outreach plan. The altercation began after Reverend Peterson asked a Toyota representative if black conservatives! not affiliated with the Rainbow/PUSH coalition would be eligible for the assistance being offered by Toyota.

Reverend Petersen immediately found himself in a very hostile atmosphere incited by Jesse Jackson, and was threatened and physically accosted as he tried to exit the event. We will be sure to keep you posted as this case moves along.
