In Jena, Louisiana, the “Jena 6” teen Mychal Bell has been sent back to jail. The 17-year-old Bell has already served 10 months in prison for a schoolyard fight in which Bell and five others beat up a white student. The fight occurred after white students hung three nooses from a tree where the black students had sat. An all-white jury convicted Bell of aggravated second-degree battery. Bell was allowed free on bail just two weeks ago after an appeals court found he had been improperly tried as an adult. But on Thursday, the same judge who wrongly tried Bell, District Judge J.P. Mauffrey, sentenced him to 18 months in prison on charges pending from another case before the fight occurred. Bell was sentenced on two counts of simple battery and two counts of criminal destruction of property. Judge Mauffrey also ordered Bell’s parents to pay all court and witness costs. Defense attorneys had previously tried to force Mauffrey to recuse himself from Bell’s case.
