City council member calls for an investigation by the mayor Mobolade in the middle of the “Hasskfreffen -Hoax” procedure

Colorado Springs, Colorado (Krdo) – Colorado Springs Leaders call for further investigations by the mayor Yemi Mobolade After the trial of two defendants who were accused of hate hate crime to swing the choice in his favor.

“The citizens deserve to know.” Colorado Springs city councilor Dave Donelson told that Krdo13 examined During a call on Friday morning.

Derrick Bernard and his partner Ashley Blackcloud were on trial this week. The duo was accused of burning a cross with a “n-word”, although they have contacted to say that they did it to get votes for the candidate Yemi Mobolade, who is black.

Both were found guilty on Friday. A third suspect, Deanna West, had guilty in December for her share of the crime.

After Bernard and Blackcloud had been charged, the light came to the light that Mobolade communicated with Bernard before the joke.

A Facebook message from Bernard to Mayor Mobolade was: “I know it's crunch time, sir, but look … I spoke to some of my friends in other places and theirs [sic] An action in the middle. . . I mobilize my squadron in defense and for the last thrust. Black Ops Style Big Brother. The clan cannot lead this city again. “

However, the indictment did not contain a “smoking weapon” that supported the idea, knew from the mayor Mobolade or was involved in the joke. The mayor has also refused to participate.

During his certificate in Bernard and Blackcloud's trial, the FBI investigator Ethan Doherty said that Mobolade initially avoided discussing certain text messages that were shared between him and Bernard, and also stated with “120%” fasc.

The FBI said they knew that this was not true due to telephone records.

On Thursday, Bernard campaigned and claimed that Mayor Mobolade and the representative of the state of Colorado, Regina English, not only knew that the video was a joke, but also part of the first planning process.

The claims made the council member of District 1 Dave Donelson to request an investigation of the mayor's measures. The council member made an explanation to Krdo13 on Friday, in which it was:

“During the” Hass Crime Hoax “procedure, serious accusations regarding the knowledge of the mayor Mobolades were revealed and participation in the jokes about the mayor's actions during the FBI certificate.

On Friday, Mobolade's office made his own explanation in response to Bernard and Blackcloud's guilty judgments that read completely:

“My wife and I are grateful that justice with today's guilty judgment for Ashley Blackcloud and Derrick Bernard was admitted. This moment brings a feeling of closure and relief, not only for our family, but also for the Colorado Springs community as a whole. We appreciate the work of the judicial system, the lawyers who have worked hard to bring about this case, to bring this case, to bring this case, and to bring this case to give this case.

“Moments like this remind us that hate has no home in our city. When we move forward, we do this with gratitude, healing and commitment to the values ​​that Colorado make a safe, just and united community.”

Remarkably, his statement did not refer to Bernard's claims on the stand or contained a response to the demand for the council member Donelson after a further investigation of his actions after the internal combustion video and the subsequent FBI interviews.

On Friday afternoon, Krdo13 turned to the Mayor Mobolade on Friday afternoon, hoping to receive his answer to claims that were raised during the certificate, but his team redirected us again.
