DALLAS — Christopher Brosky's two convictions since March for
his involvement in the racially motivated drive-by slaying of a black
man have made the former skinhead an easy target for public outrage.
But what protestors and prosecutors seem to have neglected is that
Brosky has been the target of public attention and scorn though he was
the least involved of the three people who killed Donald Thomas in
June 1989, his mother said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Little infamy has trailed gunman William George "Trey" Roberts III
or driver Joshua Hendry. They both plea bargained, leaving Brosky, 19,
to carry the case into the spotlight alone.
"Now that it's become 'The Chris Brosky Case/ people have forgot
ten this kid was in the back seat," said defense attorney Ernie Bates.
"Even the participants disagreed whether he handled the gun or even
said shoot."
The way the case has been handled has outraged his mother,
Sheilagh Brosky.
"Don't you think it's a big responsibility for Christopher to carry, all
the collective guilt for 160 years of inhumane treatment? That's exactly
what has happened," Ms. Brosky said.
"He is being held responsible for every injustice in this state since
the Civil War.
"The word I'm trying to get out is don't call it justice when it's not.
Justice is portrayed as a woman wearing a blindfold to be impartial.
Here in Texas she wears a blindfold so she can't see what's being done
in her name."
In March, an all-white Tarrant County jury convicted Brosky of mur
der. Their sentence of 10 years' probation sparked widescale protests,
including a 10,000-person march in Fort Worth. The outcry led Tarrant
County prosecutors to seek a second conviction.
Brosky was convicted last week by a Galveston jury for engaging in
organized criminal activity. He was fined $5,000 and sentenced to 40
years in prison — the same number of years handed to Roberts. Brosky
could be eligible for parole in three years and four months.
Brosky's attorneys are trying to get the second trial considered dou
ble jeopardy, which is against the U.S. Constitution. Their motion has
been sent to the Texas Court of Appeals.
