I'm subscribed to the email list covering legal matters and the R2K protesters in Philadelphia. It's a high traffic list, so I can't pay very close attention, but recently I noticed that some of the high-profile conspiracy charges have been dismissed. Below is an announcement that John Sellers' charges were dismissed. Sellers is a target of the FBI for being an extremely effective nonviolent agitator and teaching others to do the same at the Ruckus Society.
I'm also including a link to a newspaper article about the dismissal.
