Renata Hill is out on bail

[mallory]

Renata Hill, sentenced to 11 years with the NJ 4, won her appeal this summer and has been given a new trial on September 3, 2008. Her bail was set at $75,000 and has spent her time until now at Riker's Island Correctional Facility in New York. Last week, her bail was lowered to $5,000. Friends, family, and supporters from all over the country sent donations for Renata's release.
Last night, August 29, 2008, Renata left Riker's Island to join her family and friends, including Terrain Dandridge from the NJ 4 released after her successful appeal this summer, in Newark until her court date next week.
She and Terrain will be guest speakers, among others, at the Brecht Forum on September 16, 2008 at 7:00 pm to help further fundraising for the New Jersey 7. The benefit will raise support for all of the women who were originally involved in the incident over 2 years ago. The three women that were not incarcerated still face probation and other hardships due to their criminal records. Venice Brown also has a reachable $5,000 bail and Patreese Johnson is anticipating her appellate trial sometime in November.

Hello everyone I am Ameerah Barnville, Venice Brown's eldest sister. When all of this first happened to these babies I had no understanding of what was to come and now since all of these girls have been able to reach their bails I can't help but anticipate the day that I am able to see my sister again!

I know you all probably remember the pregnant girl that made that Daily Newspaper...
Well that was me, lol! And since then I have been blessed to have a healthy baby boy Joshua Adams Jr. During the course of all this I have not forgot about my sister and her being away I just have not had the time let alone the energy to be able to make it to see her...
But i need her to understand that I am here and her cause is my cause!

I also want to let Renata,Terrain and Patreese know that I love them as well! They are not forgotten! Please give out my contact info to any of the girls:

Hi, Ameerah! It's good to hear from you. Congratulations on your new baby. I know you must be extremely busy, so I appreciate your taking some time to support your sister and her friends here on this discussion board. I removed your personal information, though. This board is open to anyone with internet access. You and your family need more privacy than that.

Terrain is out of prison and last I heard, so was Renata. But I still correspond with Patreese and will give her your contact information and your message of support.

Thanks again for writing. Please write again if you have any updates on Venice's situation. Take care.
