The\u00a0People’s Law Office\u00a0<\/em>in Chicago – which is representing one of the original “NATO 3<\/a>” activists\u00a0preemptively\u00a0arrested before the May 2012 NATO Summit and charged with conspiracy to commit an act of “domestic terrorism” –\u00a0wrote an update blog post on Nov. 19<\/a>\u00a0that revealed their court date has been set for Sept. 16, 2013.<\/p>\n

This is one day before the two-year anniversary of the launch of Occupy Wall Street, which began on Sept. 17, 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Michael Deutsch and Sarah Gelsomino are the attorneys at the\u00a0People\u2019s Law Office\u00a0representing Brian Jacob Church, one of the original “NATO 3” turned “NATO 5<\/a>.” The “NATO 3” activists’ bonds have been set at $1.5 million per person and though they have been sitting in jail for six months, their attorneys still have not received much of the information they requested as part of the “discovery” phase that takes place during the pre-trial phase.<\/p>\n

“Thus far, through the course of the discovery phase, the prosecution has provided thousands of pages of documents and dozens of discs,”\u00a0explained the\u00a0People’s Law Office<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0“However, there are numerous items which attorneys for the three defendants have specifically requested which have not been provided. In addition, there is content from several computers and electronics seized from the raid which has been placed on a 2 terabyte hard drive. A mirror image of that hard drive has yet to be turned over to the defense counsel.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0People’s Law Office<\/em>\u00a0believes\u00a0the charges are\u00a0“trumped-up [and] politically motivated,” with the evidence gathered and obtained by the prosecutors\u00a0coming via<\/a>\u00a0two undercover police informant infiltrators,\u00a0“Mo” and “Gloves.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

When all is said and done, the “NATO 3” will have spent roughly 16 months in prison before their trial even begins, a potential violation of the 6th Amendment’s “speedy trial<\/a>” clause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
