BREAKING: RNC 8 Now Face Four Felony Charges in Amended Complaint

Submitted by haloka on Sat, 12/13/2008 - 21:07

Lawyers for the RNC 8 reportedly received a letter today from the Ramsey County Attorney's office amending the complaint against them. The new complaint reportedly lists the charges as follows:

Count 1 - conspiracy to riot in the second degree in furtherance of terrorism (the original charge)
Count 2 - conspiracy to riot in the second degree (without terrorism enhancement)
Count 3 - conspiracy to damage property in furtherance of terrorism
Count 4 - conspiracy to damage property (without terrorism enhancement)

The timing of the additional charges from Ramsey County is unique, coming on the heels of a successful court solidarity action on Friday and upcoming call-in days to Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner. Ramsey County prosecutor Richard Dusterhoft also recently sent a letter threatening more charges to the lawyer for Dave Mahoney.

hi --

I'm a freelance journalist in New Orleans who attended the David McKay trial and is following the RNC 8 case. I was wondering if you have any contact who could tell me when the RNC 8 trial(s) will start. Have any dates been set? Thanks.

Petitions have now been submitted to Susan Gaertner demanding that the charges be dropped. The subsequent supporters bike ride was accompanied by a disproportionate number of police officers. The police filmed the protesters and recorded their vehicle registration numbers. They also arrested one protester. Around 30 police officers were involved in monitoring what was a perfectly legal bike ride. I wonder what crimes were committed while they were busy...
