Tis the season to wonder why Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to Federal criminal firearm possession, what’s up with Pepa of Salt-N-Pepa’s butt lawsuit, and why a little league football coach thought it wasn’t straight up child abuse to violently slap a 9-year-old player during a game that, thankfully, was caught on camera?

I’m Eboni K. Williams, an attorney, TV news anchor, and former public defense attorney. I was raised by a single mother. We were poor, we struggled but we strived and she taught me, inspired me and instilled in me a sense of justice through perseverance, through knowledge!

I believe we are a nation of laws, but the system is rigged and we must work to restore the promise of justice for all. T
