COME OUT and SUPPORT activist attorney Tony Serra and SUPPORT the pepper spray victory--July 29 in SF Federal Court

>>>post-trial motions in pepper spray case July 29
>>>Judi Bari and pepper spray attorney faces sentencing on July 29

While we WON the Pepper Spray by Q-tip case in April, giving a huge victory for the rights of protesters in the face of excessive force by police, there is an important hearing on July 29 that needs your support!

Important motions will be heard before Judge Susan Illston at 9 am in the SF Federal building (450 Golden Gate, SF), including

--a motion setting out the facts and arguments for payment of legal fees of the prevailing plaintiffs team. The County of Humboldt is opposing payment of legal fees to our amazing legal team

--a motion for an injunction barring the use of pepper spray on non-violent locked down protesters, which the jury found to be excessive force in April

--opposing arguments to law enforcement's motion asking the judge to throw out the jury's verdict in favor of the activist plaintiffs

Please come and support the legal team and plaintiffs in court. Remember to bring a photo i.d. necessary for entry into the federal bldg. The courtroom is on the 19th floor. And immediately following this hearing...

>>>VETERAN DEFENSE AND CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY TONY SERRA will be sentenced for income tax evasion in Judge Spiro's courtroom, SF Federal Courthouse

Tony was part of the radical legal team that won the Judi Bari vs. FBI case in 2002, argued the pepper spray case with the same legal team, and has been a pioneer in criminal defense in many cases, including defending Native Americans in the Bear Lincoln case in Mendocino county and the Patrick Hooty Croy case. He took a vow of poverty years ago and does most of his cases for free.

He plead guilty to non-payment of taxes for 1997-2001, and because of previous tax charges, he could get prison time, or probation and home detention. Come to this hearing and show the court that Tony has broad support from the community. He is an activist attorney in every sense of the term and has dedicated his life to political causes with little material return.
