Patrick Thompson's trial continues in courtroom E at 9:30
in the morning. Today, Patrick's accuser and the first
witness for him took the stand. I think there is a fair
chance of a verdict tomorrow. There is NO EVIDENCE against
him except the word of his accuser. But he is being prosecuted
for assaulting a white woman and has an all-white jury of
mostly women (hard to believe, but true). Patrick is defending
himself. This is definitely worth attending, if you're able.

I think you all know of his VEYA connection and the felony
eavesdropping charges for monitoring police performance. Now
he is being prosecuted on unrelated charges with inadequate
evidence. What a coincidence!
