Charges Against Three RNC 8 Defendants are Dropped!

From the RNC 8 Defense Committee: The RNC 8 received some surprising news Thursday afternoon - charges against Luce Guillen-Givins, Monica Bicking and Eryn Trimmer have been dropped!

The fact that charges have been dismissed against these three members of what Ramsey County has for two years labeled a “criminal enterprise” exposes the political motivations behind this case.  Although today’s news is an amazing development, charges against four of the eight defendants still remain and must continue to be fought with renewed strength.
