Will Shannon ever be vindicated???? Royster apologize?
A picture of a support rally for the SCC, during the occupation of 2000.
Here is a letter summarizing the situation of our beloved, Shannon Martin: Shannon Deserves an Apology, but will she ever truly be vindicated? Despite having been acquitted, doesn't she deserve an apology from the University. More importantly, a personal apology from Eunice Royster Harper, who testified against Shannon at her trial. An even better cause than suing Michigamua, would be better served by suing the University for wrongful termination for Shannon Martin. Unfortunately, it appears as though the statute of limitations has run its toll.

Well if you read the court transcripts then you would be able to put those purchases in context. Shannon never claimed they were purchases made for the University. Furthermore, testimony at trial revealed that it was common practice for employees to make personal purchases and then reimburse the University via personal check when it came time to reconcile those purchases. The University failed to acknowledge that. Furthermore, I’m not sure what your definition of acquittal is, but there is a distinction between an acquittal and say, a mistrial or a hung jury. Shannon was acquitted. In this here country called Amerika, acquittal means innocence- after all, we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Not to mention to compare Shannon to OJ Simpson is ridiculous to say the least. This is a woman who worked at least 80 hours a week around the clock during the occupation. She was and remains to this day, dedicated to her community, her students, and her ancestors. You are quite naive if you think that Shannon's termination had nothing to do with the SCC occupation, let alone with Michigamua's extensive connections. You said yourself that the University fired Shannon for something that they typically overlook.
