------------------------message from Jonah Zern, Oakland Schoolteacher arrested Sat------

CALL THE DA'S OFFICE AND ASK THEM TO
DROP THE CHARGES FOR ME AND JEREMY ROCHELLE, WE ARE
BOTH INNOCENT SCAPEGOATS!

SF District Attorney's Office

I am free!!!!! Thank you for everyone who helped!! Especially Ethan, Mary, David, Larry, Chris, Rachel, Nita, John, Midnight Special, O.R., cellmates, and others, I truly saw how terrible, racist, violent, and unneccessary our prison system is, and how easy it is for a cops lie to put someone in jail.


------chuckE's update on case, followed by email/commentary to Jonah---------

UPDATE: CALL THE DAMN INFO OFFICER FOR HALLINAN and check out their website for info on Jeremy and Jonah's cases. The guy is real fun to bug and charging these people for any crime seems ludicrous, especially considering the circumstances. Bottom line____both of them seem rather innocent, beyond a shadow of a doubt. And well the cops look shady as hell, and stupid too, and of course the INS deserved it anyway....and no I did not see who did it, but I am so sure that these folks are innocent that I am spending time writing this, sending it out and posting it on the web..

--and finally that stupid email from me to Jonah---------------------------------

hey man i didn't even see you get nabbed, but would be willing to be a character witness if you get desperate...i'll tell them that i have known you as an adament peacenik...always hanging out with people who are against property destruction

as for jeremy...i swear he came up and talked to me a few moments before he got arrested...i was trying to pay attention, but did not figure out who the other person was who got arrested...then i saw jeremy's picture and realized that he had come up to me on market st right before he got arrested...and talked to me about how he wasn't used to these types of marches, or didn't know the organizers or something, he asked who organized the march and i said the usual suspects(shit i didn't know and didn't really want to think about it)

anyway would like to hear info about arraignment on friday and what all we can do besides calling the DA, which I will try and get my lawyer friends to begin to(NLG folks)...I am sure some of them are already helping out anyway

all this shit seems really strange and suspicious...ah, i think that it is just the dumb cops/system...lack of intelligence, etc...

hope you are well
