Bronx for Noche: Yesterday, Noche's trial was continued until Wednesday, March 20. Josh Norkin, of Legal Aid, is filing a motion to dismiss the charges on facial insufficiency because of a favorable ruling in the NY Appeals Court
recently, which says that there has to be "harm to the public" for disorderly conduct to occur. Meanwhile, the prosecutors haven't handed over any discovery evidence yet, even though they were ordered to do so by August
15, 2012. Jeffeth James, Noche, and two others all still await trial from the same incident where the NYPD beat Jeff.
2/25 Manhattan for Noche: It looks like Noche may go to trial this Monday, February 25 at 100 Centre Street. This is the really messed up case where the DA combined two incidents where Noche was arrested while observing the police into one trial,
As we've said before, the only thing in common with these two incidents was Noche, in Harlem; the police lying that Noche interfered with them arresting another person, who, in each case, was not arrested. But he got thrown to the ground and charged with OGA, and resisting arrest, amounting to a year each, four times,and six months for resisting.
You can read more about the case here. We need a mass amount of people to come out. We can't let them be successful in their attempt to discourage others from doing what he does. We need research help in learning more about these two arresting officers:
Michael Duffy Shield # 27097 Manhattan Boro North
Harold Nunez Shield # 28069 26th Precinct
Come out for a 9:00 am rally / press conference, outside 100 Centre Street.
2/27 Brooklyn for Gbenga, Luis, Carl and Morgan. Prosecution started on February 14 with one witness, P.O. Blanco. More cops will testify Wednesday. The trial could go through Thursday if there is no order by the judge to dismiss
the disorderly conduct charges. We are looking for research help to learn more about Captain William Gardner of the Brooklyn North Task Force who gave the order for arrest. His name shows up in tweets from OWS last year
as a white shirt who harasses and brutalizes women. Let's learn more if we can.
Greg Allen posted a very detailed and entertaining account of his pro se trial in the same case in November. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11_92pK-4dS6mJvvPYdzQni2DwwjxseqmRPxIH2rDQn0/edit?pli=1
Trial 9:30 at 120 Schermerhorn Street, probably in 308F.
Note: The first Brooklyn Bridge case, from September 2011 to go to trial just ended with all four defendants convicted of disorderly conduct. Marty Stolar defended three of them, up against the same judge who convicted 20 of us
last May. This is really outrageous, given that 700 were mass-arrested, the state dropped hundreds of the charges, others took ACD's, and the few left to fight the charge may get convicted of disorderly. That's just so BAD!
