Hello everyone,

I talked with Attorney Harvey Welch today. He said media and 
supporters and witnesses would not be allowed into the crowded 
courtroom which will already be housing other city ordinance charged 
people. The judge will just plow through each hearing and move onto 
the next one keeping each hearing under 10 minutes.

At my hearing I will plead not guilty at which point the judge could 
decide to throw the whole thing out of court or the judge will set a 
date for the trail. If there is a trial, it will not happen for a 
couple of months depending on how many other trials are ahead of it. 
It is at the trial that witnesses will be called and supporters and 
media would be helpful.

So the bottom line is: nobody should take time off from important 
activities on Friday for the hearing. I will send out an e-mail to 
the discuss list after Friday  letting everyone know what the next 
step is.
