A Prelude to the Circus

For anyone interested in following my legal battles, here is an update on my case. The prosecuting attorney filed a motion to combine not only the 8 Kanawha haul road cases but also the 5 auxiliary arrests linked to the Senior March and the Walker Cat banner drop.
These five persons were arrested on warrants that were filed months before they had ever heard a whisper of them. The five allegedly trespassed on Walker Cat property the day of the banner drop during the Senior March, however we have video evidence proving that several of them were not. Regardless, as it goes Jacqueline Quimby is the proud owner of both sets of charges and therefore seems to be the crazed justification for the mass consolidation.
After a meeting with some public defenders on the case, I have learned that the prosecutor plans to not offer us any pleas in an attempt to force us all to trial. I don't know what his reasoning is, but it seems that he does not understand the circus that he is about to induce with his actions. He is gathering 12 of the most stubborn and uncooperative persons I know in the same room, at the same time, for what is intended to be a session in a court of law.
If you understand West Virginian law in the slightest, you can understand this: February 8th at 1:30pm there will be a performance like no other I've attended in the Kanawha County Magistrate Court. We would appreciate as many fans as would like to attend. No tickets necessary.
