Blake, who is recovering from a police shooting in August, denying guilt says he wants to ‘see my children quicker’

Jacob Blake, a Black recovering after being shot in the back by Wisconsin police officers earlier this year, had been facing charges of sexual assault prior to his shooting.

Prosecutors decided to drop two of those charges on Friday in exchange for a guilty plea to lesser charges.

Blake, 29, back in May was accused of one count of third-degree sexual assault and one count of criminal trespass, according to New York Times. A warrant was issued for his arrest in July, two months before he was shot in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin while responding to a domestic complaint.

In the case of sexual assault, Blake’s lawyer, Patrick Cafferty, was able to make a deal with Kenosha prosecutors. The deal stemmed in part due to the accusing party not being cooperative with prosecutors, including Walworth County district attorney Zeke Wiedenfeld.

“This was an agreement reached partly because the victim in this matter was not responsive to the subpoena to appear in court,” Wiedenfeld said.

As a result, the third-degree sexual assault and criminal trespass counts were dropped by prosecutors and Blake agreed to plead guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct. Blake will receive two years probation and serve no jail time.

Cafferty stated that “this was a fair resolution of these charges.” However, as Blake stated his allocution for the disorderly conduct via a virtual court appearance, he maintained his innocence.

“Honestly, your honor, although I pled guilty to this, I don’t consider myself to be guilty,” Black said. “I pretty much took this opportunity to get to see my children quicker.”

The shooting left Blake partially paralyzed from the waist down and sparked protests in the city. His shooting followed numerous incidents of police violence that ended in deaths of Black Americans, such as Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, sparking a summer of demonstrations.

One time drug offense? Life in prison

This shitweed: 2 years probation, no jail. Give me hats, I'm fucking furious how this jackass is walking free.

George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, Jacob Blake, and Walter Wallace Jr all had charges filed or convictions for assaulting women: Floyd threatened Aracely Henriquez during a home invasion by sticking a gun to her stomach; Brooks was convicted of battery against his wife Tomika; Blake was accused of sexual assault; and Wallace had several incidents under his belt including putting a gun to a woman’s head and punching out his own mother. In all but Floyd’s case, where the victim is a female Latino, the victims were black women.

No one cares.

That is St. Floyd to you, ok ? Put some respect on this man’s name.

I am 100% sure this plea deal has nothing to do with appeasing black rioters and preventing another chimpout city destruction.

I’m surprised he got charged at all considering he’s the first living winner of the ghetto lottery. I bet he’ll spend his money on ridiculous shit like spinners for his wheelchair and be broke in a few years.

Have you ever been in such a clamor to point out someone's race that you forget to include the fact that they're a person?

I was gonna point this out. Reminds me of a couple old DMX songs where instead of saying nigga he says black instead. Such as "YEAH WHAT BLACK" in this classic masterpiece. X is just so ridiculous you just gotta love him

Jacob "Hero" Blake.

Cant wait for Kamala to give him the medal of valor for his heroic service of disobeying the police.

 

[Prolego]

Was he not trying to see his kids against a restraining order and the wishes of their mother when he attacked police and tried to grab a weapon and/or kidnap those children?

Yup, but now she's his fiancee. Ain't love a funny thing.

the victims were black women.
No one cares.

Nope, you're wrong there. The police cared. They came out when Jacob Blake's ex called. It's only the papers that don't give a shit.

That is St. Floyd to you, ok ? Put some respect on this man’s name.

Looking forward to his biopic where we can watch his noble pregnant woman kicking and fentanyl abuse on the big screen.

Yup, but now she's his fiancee. Ain't love a funny thing.

As Kanye once said, when a rich nigga wants ya. Now that he's gotten paid she's willing to overlook a little substance abuse, violent outbursts, and controlling behavior.

Oh, and Islam is right about women.

The unbiased media, which would never tell a lie, claimed racist white police officers shot him for being black. Why would he accept a plea bargain when the aspiring rapper dindu nuffin? I'm terribly confused by this turn of events.

Clearly that's just how it be in this white supremacist system. As long as black people can be arrested for doing crimes, there's still a lot of work to be done. Jacob Black for President 2024.
