A local Democrat politician made a shocking confession during a meeting this week that should prompt a full investigation.
As WKBN reported, Mel Witherspoon, the Democratic City Council President for Erie City, PA, flat-out admitted to killing another man decades ago when he was a teenager during the City Council’s bi-monthly meeting.
“I’m 17. I’m involved with a gang, the largest gang in Newark, New Jersey. I organize. We went over to Jersey City looking for the person,” the 80-year-old Witherspoon said. “Well, when we got there, we didn’t realize it was a family. And when you talk Jersey City and you talk family, you’re talking the mafia.”
Witherspoon went on to say that he was living in Omaha, Nebraska, at the time and bought a gun there. He then said some men came to his room and got high on drugs (likely marijuana).
The Democrat next dropped a bombshell: he shot a man with the first name Nick after the guys left, telling the man he could blow his head off.
“They left. I had the clip in my gun. Nick came into my room, Witherspoon explained. “I said, ‘You know, Nick, I can blow your head off.’ He said, ‘Go ahead.’ And I did. I shot him in the head point-blank. This close (pointing at his head).”
Did Witherspoon not realize that he confessed to murder?

But Witherspoon got away with the crime thanks to his own sordid mafia connections.
“I stayed in jail one night,” he said. “I never went to court and went back to (playing basketball). How did that happen? Because I had a family member, one of my uncles, he was involved with one of the families (mafia).”
“That family made a call to Newark from New York to Omaha, Nebraska where I was at and I was out the next day.”
Assuming Witherspoon is telling the truth, the crime happened either in 1961 or 1962 (he would have been 17 one of those years). But there is no statute of limitations for murder in the state of Nebraska or Pennsylvania.
Just imagine if a MAGA Republican had made such a confession, and what the response from the press would be.
