DESCRIPTION:Another in the endless round of costly "conspiracy" charges against 
 reporters, activists, and peacemakers who were targeted scapegoats for the 
 75 River St. occupation (which involved hundreds of people).\n\nAttorney 
 David Beauvais will ask Judge Paul Burdick to grant a Motion to Compel 
 Discovery in the Santa Cruz Eleven case (specifically that of Robert Norse 
 Kahn).\n\nSo far D.A. Rebekah Young has broken her promises four times to 
 turn over the video that she has been relying on for "evidence" in the 
 Preliminary Hearings of other defendants.\n\n  According to Detective 
 Gunter's testimony at the two hearings this involves 20 hours of video,  
 He's also sworn under penalty of perjury here's also more as yet unloaded 
 video from the police servers.  \n\nDefendants requested this video as 
 early as mid-February.\n\nBecause the video is unlikely to appear along 
 with police reports and other reqeusted info, we'll be demanding, a 
 continuance of the Preliminary Hearing, now slated for May 29th.  I 
 recommend the other four defendants do the same.\n\nYoung's record so far 
 is zero percent, with every case that's gone to Preliminary Hearing 
 dismissed.  That makes six out of eleven.\n\nYoung still insists she'll be 
 refiling charges anyway in two cases.\n\nThe spectacle of trying to patch 
 up this attack on community activists with far-fetched conspiracy charges 
 that have nothing to do with the actual behavior of the defendants is both 
 farcical and depressing.\n\nEven more depressing is the fact that this 
 attack on the right to assemble and protest continues under Bob Lee's 
 signature in spite of the "dismiss" rulings of normally prosecutor-friendly 
 judges.  \n\nHowever recent community response has been encouraging.\n\nFor

 my take, see http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/05/11/18713332.php and 
 other articles under "Norse" on this website.\n\nEmpty Buildings are the 
 crime.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/05/17/18713652.php
