Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes corruption, today announced that on January 17, 2006,Jesse Lee Peterson, et al., v. Jesse Jackson, et al. (BC 266505) will go to trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court after a ruling last week by Judge George H. Wu.  Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit against Jackson, his son Jonathan, and others on behalf of Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, who was the victim of a physical and verbal assault at an event hosted by Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. in December 2001.  Rev. Peterson is an ordained minister, who has dedicated his life to working with underprivileged black youth and men in our society.

 

The Jacksons and the Rainbow/PUSH coalition, who had sought to have the case dismissed, will now face multiple civil charges, including: Assault, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress and a California Civil Rights Claim.  Jonathan Jackson also will face the additional charges of Battery and False Imprisonment.
