Ian Freeman of FTL arrested (11/14/08)

[Josh]

Are people comfortable with this proof?

Is there any likelihood of a transcript being released? Though it was a mostly private trial, it's still public information, and a court recorder likely had to be there.
In lieu of an 'official' transcript, we have to take the word of witnesses.

Edited: I thought she still lived in Vermont.

How convenient that a person that works for the city gov't and likely knows Parcels (A man obsessed with the FSP in a bad way.) is the one to allegedly make the complaint.

You don't suppose she was asked to make a complaint b/c Parcels asked her to?


Also, how long has she lived on that street? The couch has been there for a couple years.

from what ive read (researched), she is a recent mover.
she was living in brattleboro, vermont, 30 minutes west of keene before moving there..

looks like shes been with the city of keene for about 2-ish years.
id be willing to bet she moved in within the year.

Checkout the Talkback from Sept 27th. Parcell describes her as a recent mover.

And now for something a little different

[Coconut]

A question for those who were in the courtroom: Was there any audio from the "secret trial" room?

There was audio... it was unclear... and I will be posting more information about it later.

And I personally confirm that Ms. Engert was mentioned as the complainant to Ian's couch.

Are people comfortable with this proof? If so I'm going to remove all language indicating it's unknown who the complainant was.

The only reason she wouldn't be the original complainant is if someone else came to her, but I know her name was brought up as the person in court.

Have people vote on if the attached audio file is proof enough.

She has an F-Bomb on her myspace page. That's disorderly conduct in most jurisdictions, according to cops in said jurisdictions.

I'd like to file a complaint.

While I accept that this is in all probability what will occur, I think it's a bad idea.  Ignoring the question of whether she deserves to be shunned or whatever, having an angry mob bury her with "nice messages" (the majority of which probably won't be nice at all) will do no good.  I think she should be given a chance to listen to Ian's point of view, think about the fact that her actions have resulted in Ian being locked in a cage, and explain whether or not she approves of this outcome.  For all we know, this person feels terrible that things have gone this far.  Unlikely?  Perhaps, but it rarely pays to rush to judgement IMO.
