Jordan Halliday Convicted of Violating City Ordinance
12/01/09
Our friend and fellow activist Jordan Halliday was convicted today. His charges and explanation follow and are provided by ADL Salt Lake City :

Today after two days of court Jordan Halliday was convicted with count one "Targeted Residential Picketing Prohibited" (which is a 'class b misdemeanor') by a jury of four peers.

The jury deliberated for more than four hours and couldn't decided on a verdict for count two "wearing a mask with the intent to commit a crime". So instead of having a dead lock and a hung jury which would lead to another mistrial for this case (the first being a mink farmer on the jury) prosecution decided to dismiss his 2nd charge.

Kevin's Demurrer Argued Today
09/18/09
Earlier this morning Kevin went to court specifically regarding his multiple felony counts of stalking. His lawyer argued a motion that he had written called a demurrer . This document basically battles the constitutionality of charging an activist with stalking. The law has never been used for this purpose in its history of existence in the state of California. After much debate between the judge, Kevin's lawyer and prosecuter, the judge denied the demurrer. Which means his bail was not lowered and the charges have not yet been dropped.

Next Court Date: September 18th
07/23/09
Kevin's next court date is on September 18th, 2009. This is an important date and we need to pack the courts! This is the court date that will not only determine Kevin's sentence but will argue the constitutionality of his charges. Basically his lawyer (like many other activist's lawyers) will be challenging the U.S. Constitution and the plausiblity of the charges being put upon Kevin. Although his case is not labled as such "AETA" cases all of the same penalities and formalities through California state legislature apply to Kevin.
