It was a remarkable day in federal court. The 9/26 defendants showed great courage and solidarity. Although, I paid my fine I wanted to go and give support. A friend of mine reported earlier this evening that the defendants were still at the offices of John Norris, Cindy Sheehan's attorney. NLG attorney Mark Goldstone is serving as attorney advisor for the defendants pro se. The prosecution tried to screw the defendants by splitting them up their trials, and thus depriving them of the defense they had already planned for. The judge first seemed to agree to this, but then flip-flopped. The trial will continue tomorrow morning around 10AM at the Federal Courthouse at 3rd and Constitution. Mark Goldstone is our attorney in regards to the 2/8/05 protest I was arrested for at the lower steps of the Supreme Court. We are appealing the initial guilty verdict.
