              Wyoming 'Rainbow Trials' Set for September 28 --
                 -- 3 Defendants to Fight False Charges
              ```````````````````````````````````````````

      On July 2, 2008, a man was pulled from a car in a Rainbow Gathering parking area, tazed multiple times, beaten, and arrested by Incident Command LEO's.
      On July 3, 2008, one woman was assaulted, another peppersprayed, both were taken down and also charged by LEO's during the infamous Kid Village provocateur fracas.

      This is the most egregious abuse of police power -- to inflict violence on a citizen, and then malicious criminal charges, insult upon injury, and the burden of prosecution.  Three participants in the 2008 Rainbow Gathering in Wyoming were turned into hapless Defendants, and they have refused to roll over or back down:  Dale Kellogg, Skye Riggs, and Rose Stanley.

      The Government & Court have dallied and dithered over these cases for over a year, apparently hoping to wear down the charged parties and force a deal.  Instead, these Defendants have been frustrated and fed up with the delays (i.e., denial of speedy trial), and pushed their attorneys for resolution -- and the stalemate finally broke a few days ago.

      One defense lawyer sent the news and stated the needs:
"We are set for trial on September 28, 2009 at 8 am in Lander, WY.  We must file witness and exhibit lists no later than August 3, 2009.  This means we must contact all of those who will be testifying.   We must ascertain whether they can appear and also gather all contact information.  ..."

      This is the last chance for witnesses to come forward.
      IF YOU OBSERVED ANY OF THESE INCIDENTS,
      OR TOOK GOOD VIDEOS OR PHOTOS, PLEASE STEP UP NOW.

      PCU_/FAP has assisted these Defendants with known witnesses so far, but these cases should have been dropped at the outset, and it was uncertain that they would proceed to trial -- until Now.  At this point, with a short 8/3 deadline for witness lists to opposing counsel, we urge anyone with meaningful testimony to get in touch immediately:

      Reply to this post privately via email, and we can help prepare statements & materials as before -- and call the either of the attorneys, depending on which incident you actually saw --

            • Attorney for D.Kellogg & S.Riggs__Ron Kopriva, Lander WY:  307-332-5595
            • Attorney for R.Stanley__Jeff Stanbury, Riverton WY:  307-856-2207

      There is much at stake in these trials, for 'Rainbows' and all citizens...

            Thanks for your focus and support.
