Dear Occupy Chicago Sisters and Brothers:
Today we returned to the Daley Center to address the matter of your bonds with Judge Donnelly. While he accepted the City’s position that there was proper authority to subject you to bond, he also granted our request to enlarge your bond to allow for travel outside the jurisdiction of the state. In other words: you are now free to travel outside Illinois at will. Please note, however, that you are still on bond, which should still be a consideration for any future arrests.
There was also a slight change made to the schedule of future court dates. The date for the hearing on the Motion to Strike Affidavits will be March 28th, instead of April 18th. It will once again be in Room 1307 at 1:30PM. All are welcome to attend, although not required to do so.
Finally, there will be a meeting for those of you who may be interested in pursuing a jury trial if the Motion to Dismiss is denied, on Sunday March 11th at 2PM at the Merchandise Mart. If you have not already done so, please contact occupychiattorney@gmail.com to be added to the list of possible defendants for the jury trial.
If you have any questions regarding any of these matters, please contact your attorney, or the National Lawyers Guild at www.nlgchicago.org. Thank you.
