Briana Waters Trial General Announcement
PLEASE REPOST AND FORWARD THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

Briana Waters' trial continues on February 19 at 9AM. Please be at the
court at 9am. Dress and act respectful of the court. US District Court of
Western Washington is at 1717 Pacific Ave, Tacoma. Judge Burgess starts on
time.

This will continue the second full week for the trial. Attendance is
encouraged, please look at indymedia to find how to dress. Dress is
important. It is important for us to continue the observation and
dissemination of the information of this trial.

Briana Waters asks that there be NO rally or signs outside or inside of
the courtroom. Our presence will be the support she needs. Please come
dressed and leave the wacky at home. Anyone concerned with civil liberties
should pay attention to this case.

Briana Waters has been indicted in the arson at the UW Center for Urban
Horticulture, specifically for the alleged role as a lookout. Ms. Waters
maintains her innocence and pleads not guilty. Briana Waters is facing a
mandatory minimum of 35 years.

The case is built on the word of two informants, Jennifer and Lacey
Phillabaum. Although, Ms. Waters attorneys, Robert Bloom and Neil Fox,
filed a motion that the government concealed important information and
created a fraudulent FBI report. The Judge Burgess has denied the motion
in January. The Judge Burgess closed the pretrial, which is our
fundamental right to an open and clear process in public court.

Now is the time that we must show up in the court room to support the
transparency of our judicial system. It is more than our civil liberties
at stake in this precedent setting case. We have seen more and more of our
civil rights taken away and it is important for us to stand and bear
witness to this trial.

Carpools are encouraged from Seattle.

Olympia Carpools leave daily from the Grocery Outlet Westside parking lot
at 7:30 AM.
