OT:
Before Trayvon, there was Tawana Brawley. Read the Grand Jury report.

Earlier this month it was reported:
Tawana Brawley, who faked rape, begins defamation payments 25 years later

Well, that didn't last long:

Just months after Pagones began to collect garnished wages from [Tawana Brawley]. . .his lawyers will need to begin the process again.

Pagones’ lawyer, Garry Bolnick, Sunday confirmed a prior report in the New York Post that Brawley, now 41, had been separated from her job at a nursing home in Virginia.

“We were told (by a circuit court in Surry County, Va.) she was terminated at the end of June,” Bolnick said Sunday.

Bolnick said Pagones has collected $3,700 from Brawley over 20 pay periods at The Laurels of Bon Air nursing home in Richmond, Va., where Brawley had served as a nurse.

Brawley's family said she does not wear a hijab, or head scarf, but is a devout Muslim, a conversion that began during the trial when Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan gave her the name Maryam Muhammad.

Her parents, who are Christians, said she can call any mosque in the world and will be provided with security, if her advisers from New York or her specially trained dog cannot protect her.

They say Brawley enjoys traveling. She has been to Africa twice, to Jamaica, the Bahamas and Aruba on vacation.
