Eric McDavid Alert - Less than 2 weeks to trial!

From: sacprisonersupport@riseup.net

Dear friends and supporters,

Eric's trial is less than two weeks away and we want to make sure you are
up to date on everything that is happening.

On Thursday, August 23, Eric had his trial confirmation hearing.  Trial is
on for September 10, but the first day will just be jury selection.
Opening arguments will start either the 11th or 12th. They are telling us
that trial will probably last three weeks, but we'll probably only be in
court Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. We MIGHT be in court on some
Thursdays and Fridays, but probably not. Also, Judge England will be out
of town the entire week of the 17th, so we will not be in court at all
that week. Essentially what this means is that trial will probably run
into the first week of October. Please keep these dates in mind if you are
planning on attending any of the trial. Again, please let us know if you
are planning on being here for trial, and make sure you come dressed
appropriately for court. We'll keep you posted as more information becomes
available.

After a quick surge of incoming funds, we were able to meet the newest
matching funds in less than 24 hours!  Thanks to everyone who helped make
that happen. However, things seem to have leveled off again and we now
only have two weeks to raise the remaining $1300 to meet our goal of
$15,000.  This is necessary to ensure that all of Eric's legal fees are
paid.  Again, if everyone receiving this alert would donate just $20 we
could easily reach our goal.  Please visit www.supporteric.org and donate
today.  Time is running short!

Also, if you are considering coming to trial in September and you need a
place to stay, we need to know when you will be here ASAP so we can begin
making arrangements.

Thanks to all of you.  Your support and love has been invaluable over
these last 19 1/2 months.

Yours,
SPS
