Rich Paul bravely faced down 100 years in prison to stand up for principle and attempt to hasten the demise of the insane war on drugs. Yesterday, Rich was sentenced to one year in county jail, many more suspended in prison, a three year probation, and fines.
At the sentencing hearing the court heard well-researched and passionate speeches from defense attorney Kim Kossick, Rich’s parents, and Rich himself:
You can see raw video below of Kim and Rich’s parents’ speeches as well as a ridiculous beginning portion where judge John C. Kissinger enters the court and immediately threatens the audience regarding cameras. Jason Talley and Pete engage with him regarding the court security’s confiscation of all cell phones only from people attending Rich’s trial. This is a clear violation of the court’s own standing order from head superior court judge Tina Nadeau, but Kissinger just moves the procedure along as though there is no time to deal with people being deprived of their property and rights by court agents. Here’s the full sentencing hearing:
Over $3,000 has been raised thus far for Rich’s appeal via this fundraiser. Your donations will be matched!
Barring some miracle, Rich is going to be in jail for at least seven months (he’s already sat nearly two, was sentenced to 12, and NH has a 2/3 “good time” rule), so he would really appreciate you writing to him via mail-to-jail.com!
thanks for posting !
So basically you just crash these meetings, voice you’re propaganda, and then leave while being laughed at.
Jumping Jacks
way too much background noise on the Title vid
makes it a bit unlistenable…i hope the thing passes tho
DavidJurist Jumping Jacks No, they don’t do a great job or any job for that matter. IF this garbage expects money from donations, then it isn’t worth it.
Jumping Jacks DavidJurist Now Jacks, it’s really naughty of you to be lying here again. You know very well that Ian owns his own business. His radio show is being transmitted by over 150 radio stations in the United States alone. Instead of being envious of Ian’s success, perhaps you should direct more effort into improving your own lot in life instead? I’d imagine that your own job as a pilates instructor isn’t making you much of a hit with the young ladies, now is it dearie?
Now now Jacks, we all know your lying because, and Ian has been so successful at being free, hence his chosen last name. I mean look at how many times he has not been to jail or in the court system, nevermind the fact that the FBI is investigating him and his church members. He has done so much for the community and the world, darling. Pilates instructors, and successful dearie’s, Jacks.
DRACdouble Writing bad checks is a crime, now isn’t it DD darling? Knowing that, don’t you think it’s being a tad ignoble of you to be associating with such ne’er do wells in your free time? You don’t want to give the impression to the rest of us that you don’t actually practice what you preach, now do you sweetums?
