DESCRIPTION:Tomorrow morning, Tuesday 7/14, at 8:15 am in Department 6 of the Santa 
 Cruz Courthouse defense attorneys for the remaining 4 of the SC11 will be 
 discussing possible pre-trial outcomes of the case with prosecutor Greg 
 Peinado.\n\nThis is the first court date of the month that may prove to be 
 a big one for the remaining defendants. With trial potentially starting in 
 just two weeks, let’s show up in support! Just being there can really 
 make a difference to those charged, especially as it has been years since 
 the occupation that led to all of this. Court can be really isolating and 
 uncomfortable, let’s make sure our friends know they are cared 
 for!\n\nThis is also an opportunity to show the City that we are still 
 paying attention and care about what is happening.\n\nTomorrow, there seems 
 to be the possibility of attorneys coming to a pre-trial settlement (plea 
 bargain or deal), or at least making steps in that direction. As of yet, 
 Peinado has not offered anything to the defendants, and has often said he 
 has to consult with his “higher ups” in before making or responding to 
 offers of settlement. This is a continued practice after being criticized 
 in court for coming to hearings without the power to do anything, therefor 
 wasting the time of the judge and defense attorneys as well as tax payer 
 money.\n\nIt seems that the defendants are preparing to go to trial while 
 also being open to resolving the case beforehand if the City were to offer 
 something they could agree to. The prosecution has pushed for a large 
 restitution in this case and held on to the felony charges despite having 
 the power to resolve this case by dropping or lowering the charges and 
 restitution.\n\nIt has been a question throughout this case of where the 
 motivation and power lie in the prosecution. Bob Lee and his ties to Wells 
 Fargo were influential, but now he is no longer with us. Who is in charge? 
 Who is asking for the continued prosecution and seeking of restitution? Is 
 it Wells Fargo? Or City of Santa Cruz officials?\n\nRegardless of the 
 answers to these questions it is up to us to show each other that we care 
 when the City and State repress activists and members of our community. It 
 is up to us to find what is inspiring about this situation, or create that 
 inspiration for ourselves.\n\nSee you tomorrow 
 friends!\n\n\nhttps://santacruz11.wordpress.com/\n
