Notes on a Jury Empanelled to Criminalize Sleeping and Protest
Activist, writer, and long-time community member Linda Lemaster was chair of both the Homeless Issues Task Force and the City's Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women. She was designated an expert witness in the expensive and discriminatory harassment trial of homeless musicians Anna Richardson and Miguel de Leon last summer. She faces a year in jail and $1000 fine for charges of "lodging" in front of the Courthouse for protesting the City's homeless Sleeping Ban last August. Her trial will begin in late May or early June. Everything following this summary was written by Linda herself whose blog is at http://www.hearthbylinda.blogspot.com/ .
