WTF: Judge Denies Bail For ‘Jena Six’ Teen by: PhawkerPosted on: September 21, 2007October 29, 2022 ASSOCIATED PRESS: A relative of one of the Jena Six says a judge has denied bail for Mychal Bell, the only one of the teens who is jailed in the beating of a white classmate. Attorneys would not comment because juvenile court proceedings are secret. But the father of one of Bell’s co-defendants said Bell’s bail request was rejected.
