DEADLY INNOCENCE
JOHNNIE BECK Johnnie Beck's identical twin, Ronnie, was jumped and stabbed three times in the chest seconds prior to the attacker turning his insane rage upon Johnnie, and slicing off half of Johnnie's left thumb. Quick thinking Johnnie shot his and his brother's attacker in the chest while being assaulted with deadly force. This deadly fight took place in the parking lot of a Burger King in Whiteville, NC the evening before Thanksgiving 9 years ago. Johnnie Beck was charged with First Degree Murder because he fired twice to kill the attacker. Beck was later convicted of Second Degree Murder and has been denied appeal. He is currently serving a 12 year sentence. Ronnie Beck, the twin brother, barely recovered from his injuries. The Brunswick Beacon reported on Wednesday, November 3rd, that District Attorney Rex Gore wants to overturn a conviction of a man charged with child rape. Sylvester Smith, 53, has been in prison for 20 years. On Friday, Smith won his motion and the case was dismissed. Now the news is international. Over 179 news organizations are carrying the story. Perhaps there is hope for Johnnie Beck. Smith was released because witnesses have come forward, Beck also has witnesses that offer new evidence. Both Beck and Smith have Rex Gore as District Attorney. We hope you tuned-in to learn about this miscarriage of justice. The show aired Saturday at noon on 103.9 and 106.3 FM in Southeastern North Carolina and was heard by as many 16,000 residents within the 6 surrounding counties.

Blue Line Radio Host Marc Benson with guest Alan Gell Alan Gell spent 9 years behind bars, 7 of them on Death Row, for a crime he did not commit. This was not mistaken identity, or a lack of conclusive DNA evidence. This was the direct result of prosecutorial misconduct. by the North Carolina Attorney General's Office. Gell was freed in February, 2004, when it was discovered that the Attorney General's Office with-held evidence that proved Gell was not only out of town when the murder took place, but he was in jail in another State for a separate crime. Not only that but the State hid evidence of a tape recorded phone conversation, in which the State's two star witnesses admit to lying about Gell's involvement in the murder. Alan Gell is on a mission to educate young teens and college students about the lessons he has learned about justice. Who better to speak to those at risk than Alan? Alan Gell has an exciting future to share with us all. He is available for speaking engagements and classroom discussions. Contributions can be made to the 501(c) non-profit organization that allows Alan to attend college and speak to our young. All of us at Blue Line Radio encourage everyone to support STAYOUT Inc.

AND GRANDSON SENTENCED TO DEATH 18 YEARS APART Paul Cummings and his grandfather Jerry Cummings both sit on Death Row awaiting execution. Grandpa Jerry was sentenced in 1987 and grandson Paul in 2004. Paul was recently convicted of brutally killing 62 year old neighbor Jean Truelove Head in the Dogwood Mobile Home Park off of Rogersville Road in Wilmington. Bassam Mansour, of Windchime Dr. in Wilmington, was arrested for corruptly seeking and accepting something of value and committing a fraud on the United States, according to documents filed in federal court. One of the recipients of Mansour's actions may have been the Islamic Center of Wilmington. Mansour is a civilian official at the Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point. Sunny Point is the only East Coast port for shipping military equipment, including ammunition and weapons, overseas. Mansour's arrest poses a serious question regarding National security. In a day and age when an alarm goes out when someone is seen photographing a refinery, how much more of a risk is there when someone is taking money illegally, setting a precedence for further corruption at one of the Country's largest shipping terminals for munitions. Mansour was immediately released, from federal custody, on an unsecured bond. Man sought for taking photos of refineries Man arrested in Charlotte for making video of skyline
