First Scholarship Granted in Honor of Late John Jay College Student

2006_06_johnjay.jpgToday, John Jay College of Criminal Justice masters student Johanna King Vespe will receive the first Imette St. Guillen Scholarship. The fund was created in honor of St. Guillen after her February murder. According to the Daily News, which donated money to the fund, more than $250,000 has been raised. Darryl Littlejohn, a bouncer at The Falls (the bar and restaurant where St. Guillen was last seen alive), was indicted for St. Guillen's murder.

Here's information about donation opportunities for scholarships in St. Guillen's name.

I'm glad if this makes her family feel better. She certainly didn't deserve to die.

But I really hope it doesn't come out that she really did make that racial comment she was reported to have made (http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/nyc-nyslay094655392mar09,0,4333566.story). That would really be a pity.

I'd love it if someone would say that this remark had not been made after all.

I won't be surprised if she said those things,
one the racist remark and two the I work for the FBI.
John jay is a criminal studies school full of cops and cop wanabes. hardly Ivy league but hey if you want that power, you do what you have to do and forgo Columbia.
so, who else would have a power and racist trip?

racist? what the fuck? I'm chinese and I get called every racist name on the planet from whites, blacks, mexicans and other asian subgroups. You don't see me raping and killing as justification do you?
