Secrets Exposed

Tawana Horton Secrets Exposed My name is Layla Santana, and I work as Judge Kelly’s assistant in Atlanta Georgia. At the age of twenty-one I was living with my granny Pete striving to just make ends meet. I had seen a ton of corruption as my time serving as an assistant to the judge. My ultimate dream was to pursue law school, and become an attorney, but those were just dreams. My granny, and I could barely afford the two bedroom apartment we were renting let alone afford college, and law school. So you see working so closely with the judge , and coming in contact with lawyers was the closest thing for me. I had been with the judge for about four years, and had learned his routine. I had also learned of the abundance amount of corruption, lies, and deceit that came with the judges’, and attorneys involved in the judicial system. Over the years I had watched them schedule swingers meetings through encrypted emails. I had witnessed lawyers sleeping with judges in order for their cases to go in their favor. The most shocking, yet disgusting thing I discovered was that the police, and judges’ would together target certain urban areas to harass. See there was a plan that I would eventually discover after scrolling through the judges’ email that I was assisting. The urban areas though weren’t the cleanest, were the most profitable. However, most businesses in the area were owned by black people. There were encrypted emails, and secret conversations between judges’ and the police on how the target harassment should be handled. Things had to be handled a certain way in order to keep the public, and business owners unaware that the area was actually being intentionally targeted. Though this kind of harassment wasn’t new to the black community, nor these thriving businesses it was the fact that they couldn’t prove that they were being targeted. Most times police would show up, and demand licenses, fake noise complaints, or simply just state that the businesses were becoming a safe place for drug trafficking. Oftentimes planting drugs on many owners that would ultimately cause the owners arrest, and the permanent closing of their business.
