Hundred Nights’ Subscription Button Now Working!

As mentioned in a previous article, Hundred Nights shelter is looking to raise about $1,000 per month in pledges from individuals before mid-January.

Unfortunately, when originally announced, the subscribe button on their site turned out to be broken, so those who attempted to pledge were unable to do so.

The button is now working! Please drop by Hundred Nights’ website and click “subscribe” in the top-left to contribute at least $10 per month to support Keene’s only independent homeless shelter.

Here’s an updated Facebook event to which you can invite your friends.

Victory in Defeat

On December 13, 2012 I had a trial in Newport District Court for expired vehicle registration. Specifically, I was charged with violating RSA 261:40.

Normally in Keene, as well as Manchester, Concord and I would guess most other District Courts throughout New Hampshire, there are many people scheduled for trial at the same date and time. This was not the case in Newport. Aside from myself and seven others from Keene, the only people in the court were Trooper Hickox (who was prosecuting his own case), one bailiff, a court clerk and the judge.

Before the trial began, the judge issued an edict that only one camera would be allowed to operate during the trial, despite the fact that three individuals filed notices to record. He immediately took a brief recess so that the camera situation could be straightened out and stated that if a decision wasn’t reached on which camera was to be the camera to record the trial, that NO cameras would be allowed.
