Attorney and activist Ed Frey's bail for release pending appeal of a six month sentence was reduced on Friday from $50,000 to $110. D.A. Dabkowski and Judge Gallagher "discovered" the standard bail for 647e "lodging" was $110, around 1/500th of the bail originally demanded. Why the two well-paid judicial bureaucrats hadn't noticed this on June 12th was still a mystery. On that date angry at Frey's refusal to take probation, pay a fine, and/or agree to report to jail, the judge had the ...

In early June attorney David Beauvais confirmed that the City Attorney had formally filed a lengthy petition to the U.S. Supreme Court in the "Fitzmaurice Hissy Fit" Case (also known as the mock-Nazi salute or City Council Repression case). I offered to give up all my financial demands if City Council would abandon the city-wide 11 AM to 8:30 PM Sleeping Ban and make some minor but real changes to City Council rules allowing more public access. Council's only offer was to remove some archai...

Activist-attorney Ed Frey, who initiated, supported, and was arrested, during the protest was jailed at the same hearing today.
