Show Notes
Bernard, a former radio station employee, was sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison for staging a cross burning to aid Mayor Yemi Mobolades election. Despite the First Amendment protection, the court found it a threat due to Bernards direct connection to the mayor. Mayor Mobolade expressed fear for his family and is now cautious in his re-election campaign. Bernards accomplice, Blackcloud, received a one-year sentence and is appealing. Bernards past includes a life sentence for setting up a rappers murder. This episode explores the lasting impact of threats in local politics.
