Freda Black Quotations

I don't believe it was proper or ethical for over 70 interviews to be granted to the media prior to the full investigation of the case.

I am proud to have the endorsement of the Sensational Nightingales, and that would include Darrell Luster. I am proud of the fact that he is my black campaign manager.

Frankly, in my opinion, it would be impossible to find unbiased jurors in the whole United States of America. I would have handled it differently.

He gave many statements. He gave many interviews. Only when he began to reap what he sowed did he back off that type of conduct.

I would not be in the business of trying to throw away the lives of 16- and 17-year-olds. Teenagers make mistakes.

We never did discuss the case with the media. In fact, we made a pact that's what we would never do.

Finally, let me say that as a mother of two young girls, I deplore any type of violence against women.

Any case should be tried in a court of law and not a court of public opinion.

You never get used to being in the spotlight.

In fact, we made a pact that that would be the last thing we would do.

I really didn't think about it at all, as to how close it might be. I'll just have to wait and see.

I believe a case should not be tried in the news media, that a case should be tried - any case should be tried - in a court of law. That would be after all the facts are gathered, all the evidence is in ... and the jury reaches a verdict.

I believe I have the trust at a grass-roots level to pull this community back together again.
