Update? Any news?
Bill and Ivy plead not guilty to all charges.
The prosecutors (two uniformed police officers, just like in Keene (http://forum.freekeene.com/index.php?topic=151.msg1567#msg1567)) attempted to change the bail conditions to prohibit both of them from possessing firearms (Ivy's charges are not even firearms- or violence-related), consumption of "excessive" alcohol, &c.; Bill and Ivy both objected and the judge refused to change the bail conditions.
We had about a dozen supporters show up.
It started at 08:30 and ended around 10:00. All in all, the City of Manchester wasted about 90 minutes for each person—not counting travel time, gas, parking fees, &c.. (I wonder how many people get parking tickets while in court on some other petty violation. Nice racket...)
Ivy's trial is 2008-12-09. Bill's trial is 2009-02-09.
...actually Bill plead "innocent" and the judge entered his plea as "not guilty". I guess you're not allowed to plead "innocent".

yeah.. I've always found that interesting.
Their reason, as it was explained to me, was that innocent implies not guilty of anything ever. The legal implication would be that you are not guilty of any other crimes you might also be getting tried for or something. So "not guilty" means not guilty in this specific incident.

If you were actually "innocent until proven guilty," then "not guilty" makes sense as a plea: all the court would be looking at is potential guilt, and they would either find it or not. You would have no reason to assert your innocence, because it would be assumed until proven otherwise.
Of course, the reality is that they presume you are guilty until proven innocent, so pleading your innocence makes sense...

I think it's just because "innocent" means truly innocent, whereas "not guilty" can mean the verdict is either actual proven innocence, or that the government merely couldn't prove
their case. In some other common law jurisdictions, an acquittal can actually be phrased as either "not guilty" or "not proven."

i dont think i'll be there on the 2nd. assuming Ivy concurrs:
it would be great if someone could drop by the courthouse on monday, go to the clerk's office on the second floor, do their paperwork requesting permission to videotape, then come back next day and video-record the hearing, upload to youtube.
Getting these things filmed shouldn't be dependent on my availability.

Just added this; sorry to anyone who wants to go for the short notice. This is the trial/arraignment/whatever resulting from Ivy's arrest
at the hearing on 2009-12-02.
So they gave her a "failure to appear" after they arrested her, preventing her appearance? Sounds like the fix is in. >:(

Apparently this is how they do things—serve outstanding warrants at the start of someone's court proceedings. The "failure to appear" thing was the result of another driving-while-suspended charge in Merrimack (where the asshole cops sit at the toll booths using them as unofficial
Polizeiprüfpunkte).
Fortunately, it was sorted out and she was able to have her hearing, just late—after the cops told her she'd need to pay a $40 bail commissioner's fee to be let out, but ended up letting her out anyway, about half an hour later. (I'm not clear on exactly what happened here.)
Whether or not all of this is intentional or just typical bureaucracy-in-motion, I'm not sure: It
does just seem that a lot of stuff that piled up on her slowly is now just all coming to a head at once. Now that they've got her, and Bill, forced into the court system over the stop in Manchester, they're just pulling out all of the outstanding citations and warrants because they have the opportunity.
More updates are posted to the
NH Tea Party thread about today's happenings. Video will be coming soon.
Ok, I should be there Tuesday around 8am or so and I'll be staying in Manchester for Taproom Tuesday. I'm just not sure what to do b/t the end of the trial and 5pm.

Excellent. The more the merrier. The courtroom we were in last time had limited seating, however, so get there early so you don't have to stand in the back or get squished into the benches.
Opps, I'm gonna miss this after all. I all goes ok.
Updates posted to the Tea Party thread, as usual.
The trial was continued to 2008-12-18T13:15 because the judge recommended Bill, one of Ivy's witnesses, speak to his lawyer before testifying. I think there's also a hearing at some point on 2008-12-30 (plan for 08:15—that's when court opens), for Ivy's right-to-travel memorandum of law.
Video (probably multiple videos, as I got about 90 minutes of footage) will be forthcoming as soon as I have time to edit and post.
I don't get it, you say the actual trial for Ivy is January 09, 2009?
Reminder:
Tomorrow is the remainder of Ivy's trial for Disorderly, False Report, and Suspension of Registration. This starts at 1:15pm, so if everyone who is coming wants to meet around 1:00pm, that's when she and I should be getting there.

There's one in Manchester ongoing right now, and one in Merrimack, on 2009-01-09. SMF doesn't seem to allow enough space for me to describe them fully enough in the calendar links, so that's why they look identical.
And we now have videos of the 2008-12-09 trial:—

Ivy's motion to dismiss the disorderly conduct charge was granted by the judge.
I got another hour and a half of video. I'll process out the good parts, especially the argument, counter-argument, and judge's ruling on the disorderly conduct charge. It'll probably be another 5–6 videos in all.
The first post and calendar are updated with the trial continuation's date, 2009-01-05. Not sure on the time yet.
This must be turning into such a headache for the poor State's prosecutor. After her forty-minute motion today, he was completely flummoxed for 2–3 minutes when trying to present his rebuttal. The day ended with Ivy filing fourteen motions with the Clerk of the Court in relation to the officers' misconduct in the 2008-10-10 traffic stop. (I'll let Ivy provide all the details.)
I wonder how many of the fines they collect from all the plea bargains have been eaten up by going after a freestater. >:D

The Memo of Law is due to the court by or on Dec 23rd. The State then has a week to reply. The Court will then either a) issue a written decision and schedule a sentencing hearing or b) schedule a hearing on the Memo itself and then proceed to sentencing.

She said to say thank you very much! This might be more relevant than you think. She also has a Right to Travel case in Merrimack, where she was stopped while traveling through the tollbooth. The Trooper was just standing on the jersey barrier between the tollbooths and flagging people over. The stuff about illegal checkpoints might be very VERY relevant to this case.

We called the court to confirm the continuance, and they say they have not received any filing for continuation yet, but call back on Friday just to confirm. We might still need to show up Monday if no continuance is on file with the court, but we will likely ask for the same continuance if Evan doesn't show up, and also does not file for one himself.

Bill and I feel it would be good for folks to go and support Cynthia in Derry on the 9th, rather than come to Manchester to just have his case be continued.
Interesting. I had planned on going to Bill's but if it may be moved and if Bill and Ivy feel that my time would be better spent at Cynthia's case in Dover (not Derry), I'll gladly support Cynthia. This also means I get to sleep a little longer and don't have to pay for parking 8)

When I went over to file the video paperwork, at around 15:00, they told me it was continued, and gave me a date of 2009-03-30.
The clerks are truly incompetent. One of the clerks asked me why I was filing the video motion before the day of the trial. I had to explain to her that their own court rules say the paperwork should be filed as "early as practicable" and last time filing on the day of the trial gave the prosecutor an excuse to object.
A few minutes later, after she noticed from the paperwork that the trial was continued, she asked me again if I wanted to file it "this early." Idiots. >:(

Evan has filed a pre-trial motion to dismiss, which has to be heard prior to the start of trial. There is a possibility that, after the hearing on this motion, the court will reschedule for more trial time on another date, so be prepared for that to happen.
And, in case anyone is wondering or interested, we still haven't come close to reaching our legal defense fund goal. We're about $2,700 short and not sure where that'll come from, so if you can help out, the ChipIn link is at the top of the forum in the News section.

Accoring to a Porc411 Ivy stated that all the Gun charges against Bill were dropped
Quote from: ivyleague28477
Hi all.
So, to update everyone on what happened today:
About a week and a half ago, Evan filed a motion to dismiss both of the conceal carry charges against Bill, on the basis that he has a valid and current Virginia conceal carry license, which (in VA) is issued by the courts. The argument was that, because it is a court issued document, NH should recognize it under the full faith and credit clause.
Last week the prosecutor came at us with a deal: he would drop all the charges except one of the conceal carry charges, which he would drop to a Class B misdemeanor.
Bill and I said no deal. We didn't want any gun-related charges on his record period. Evan was told no deal and he prepared for trial today.
So we arrived today ready to fight. The prosecutor and Evan chatted back and forth a few times. Eventually, there was a proposal whereby Bill would agree to not contest (plead "nolo contendre") a charge of class b misdemeanor disorderly conduct. This charge would hold a fine of $500, $200 to be paid today and $300 suspended for 1 year. In exchange, the prosecutor would drop both charges of conceal carrying without a license, would drop the charge of misuse of plates, and would allow for a "no finding" for one year the driving after suspension or revocation charge.
We have to get back over to the court sometime today to pay the $200, but otherwise we are good to go. :)

Manchester prosecutor drops gun charges in high-profile case (http://www.pgnh.org/manchester_prosecutor_drops_gun_charges_in_high_profile_case)
PRESS RELEASE -- Contact Evan F. Nappen, Esq., (603) 223-0001
Manchester, New Hampshire, April 6, 2009 - A recent gun-friendly outcome in a New Hampshire District Court could have positive implications for those who want to carry a concealed handgun. Prosecutors at the Manchester District Court dropped both counts of "carrying a concealed handgun without a license" against a man who was described by the media as "heavily armed," carrying two loaded handguns and spare loaded magazines, and wearing body armor. The case received television coverage and national publicity via an Associated Press story.
William Walker was defended by attorney Evan F. Nappen of Concord (www.efnappen.com), the Corporate Counsel of the state-wide organization Pro-Gun New Hampshire (www.PGNH.org), and one of its five Directors. Nappen argued on motion that New Hampshire must honor the man's Virginia concealed carry permit because of the Federal Constitution's "full faith and credit" clause. This is significant because New Hampshire does not officially maintain concealed carry reciprocity with Virginia. Unlike marriage licenses and driver licenses, state concealed carry licenses are generally honored by other states through reciprocal state-to-state agreements - but Virginia is not among the states listed on the New Hampshire Department of Safety's Web page of such reciprocity agreements, www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/nhsp/ssb/permitslicensing/plupr.html.
In a plea agreement reached with the State, both counts of "carrying a concealed handgun without a license" were dropped, and all firearms, magazines and accessories ordered returned by the State. Mr. Walker pled "No Contest" to disorderly conduct and a motor vehicle violation. He received a $500 fine with $300 of it being suspended.
It's not clear what will happen to the next person "caught" carrying with only a Virginia license, but the case serves as an instructional precedent, although not a binding one. Now there is one more arrow in the legal argument quiver of those who wish to peaceably exercise their gun rights without a New Hampshire carry license.
