The hearing was the day after a rally and march in support of the Jena Six. 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.

Yesterday Reverend Al Sharpton spoke about a meeting with House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) to ask for formal hearings about into the justice system in Jena, Louisiana and the case of the Jena 6 defendants, on Capitol Hill in Washington, September 25, 2007. Mychal's mother above attended the meeting and says that Mychal knows that she is doing everything she can.
