Kate Found Guilty of “Resisting” and “Disorderly Conduct”

Kate AgerFree Concord’s Garret Ean has a full report on the results of Kate’s arrest at the Manchester chalking event this summer:

Yesterday, Kate Ager received via USPS mail the verdict from judge William Lyons regarding her trial at Manchester district court on September 12. Of the three remaining charges (the state was pursuing four at trial, one was dropped prior to the delayed verdict) Kate was found not guilty of false report, guilty of resisting, and guilty of violation-level disorderly conduct. The state was pursuing misdemeanor level convictions for all of the charges, so it appears Mr. Lyons himself determined that Kate was not guilty of the ‘disorderly’ misdemeanor charge, but found her actions to qualify at the violation level.

UPDATE: Kate has not yet been sentenced.

City Council Refuses to Hear Proposal to End Drug Prohibition

“Use the system!”, they constantly implore. Well, I tried again. Last week I submitted a proposal to the city council, thinking that they had to assign everything that came in front of them to a committee for a public hearing. Turns out, they can “accept it as informational” and do nothing, and that’s what “the mayor” has decided to do with it. No public discussion will be had on my idea. They are not interested in hearing how violence and property crime can be drastically reduced, not to mention the amount of people in jail lowered. Nope! Just “accept it as informational”, ignore it, and move along with their usual “business”.

What a joke.

UPDATE: Another option, according to the clerk, is to get a councilor to schedule the item for discussion, so I will approach one and see what happens.

Hat-Wearers Threatened in Superior Court

ArnoldJohn P. Arnold, the robe-wearing man at Cheshire superior court announced a crackdown today and threatened everyone in the courtroom wearing a hat with arrest. Additionally, he attempted to suggest that liberty lovers were my “group”, and that I was their spokesman. Also he claimed that it was not a conflict of interest that both he and the prosecutor work for the same team called “the state”.

Cheshire county prosecutor John Webb also claimed that it wasn’t his fault that the court took over six months to bother to schedule a trial. Arnold will issue a ruling on the speedy trial issue by Monday morning’s jury selection. If his ruling on my motion to dismiss for lack of speedy trial is any indication, he’ll continue on with the aggression.

It was an interesting day in court, and video is to come. Tomorrow David Vandenberg is asking liberty-lovers to witness his hearing regarding the media ban in Keene superior courtat 1:30pm.

Keene Sentinel Censors Comments

I’m not sure of their motivation, but the Keene Sentinel has deleted all three of my comments from their initial story which mis-reported the murder story from yesterday. I guess someone didn’t like the truth of the situation being posted about how it was a drug-related murder. Wouldn’t want anyone to think that teenagers in Keene use and deal drugs, now would we, Sentinel?

Of course, they didn’t delete any of the comments of the anonymous haters who had responded to me, so the comments thread looks a little strange, as though people are talking to someone who is not there. Were your comments deleted as well?

FK only deletes spam comments and those advocating violence and racism. How sad that the Sentinel deletes opinions and information.
