OAKLAND, CA — The jury’s request for a copy of the 1st and 4th amendments of the US Constitution was opposed by the Department of Justice council Joseph Sher and City of Oakland council Marie Bee. Judge Wilken overruled the motion to oppose and read those amendments to the jury, but did not give the jury an actual copy of those amendments for them to return to the deliberation room. “Their agents obviously haven’t read the Constitution, so why would they want anyone else looking at it?” said Darryl Cherney, co-plaintiff in the Civil Rights lawsuit.
