Statements by Attorney Dan Stormer and South Central Farmers to follow.

"I'm in solidarity with these farmers, even if no one cares at City Hall.
There are many who do care. You heard the update from the attorney, Dan
Stormer, and I think this is a great legal case. We could actually end up
with a caring Judge, ruling on facts. This would lead to the Farm being
restored to its original state. Whether we win in court, or pay for the
Farm with money on the table, we intend to get this land back."

-Congresswoman Maxine Waters

".And the woman who came over to me and cried because of how they bulldozed
her vegetables. She spoke about the demise of a squash as though it were her
child. Tears literally streamed down her eyes. For me the experience
simply reinforced my dedication to these splendid people. And it further
polarized the difference between them and the "show me the money"
opposition. .These farmers have proven their talent, and their non violent
persistence. They will always work. They are valuable to themselves and
the community. Everybody, including their opposition, knows it."

--Lila Garrett

The Judge has ordered 1 pool camera to be in the court room during verdict.
