Ninety-three days in jail for . . . illegal outdoor furniture?

[Sam A. Robrin]

On top of that, we have to find a tape player.

I'm surprised they're not riding around in stage coaches. 

For God's sake, man, don't give them any ideas!

[Dave Ridley]

just got a call from a mainstream press reporter looking to do a story

the reporter told me that a bureacurat had just informed them ian was brought before a judge today 11/17

i got the impression this had happened this morning but am not sure.   conceivably he could still be there.

Just got the 411.... wtf is going on?!

[Dave Ridley]

is anyone here able to give me permission to give their number out to a mainstream reporter or two?

someone who was inside the courtroom... or otherwise witnessed ultra interesting stuff first hand....

[Kat Kanning]

as of early this afternoon, all websites/info by her or featuring her have been pulled down.
back-up files were made.

LOL. that didn't take long.

should I call the courtroom? someone else can: 603-352-2559

[Kat Kanning]

The jail says Ian's been released.

[Josh]

 

Did they offer any explanation?

[AntonLee]

The jail says Ian's been released.

I don't think I've ever said this before, but this is an EPIC FAIL for the court system. 

[Coconut]

The jail says Ian's been released.

this isn't "released" to go to court is it?

[Kat Kanning]

Sounds like they knocked off the 90 days and he just got the 3.  Guess someone realized they FUCKED UP big time.    BUt I only know what Dave said...they hauled him into court this morning, and the jail saying he'd been released.

[Coconut]

he's not answering cell phone... but that doesn't mean anything.

[Kat Kanning]

The jail says Ian's been released.

this isn't "released" to go to court is it?

No, that's screwyness with fed court systems.  

(My god, it's a regular white-out up here....it's snowing so hard.)

Ian might need a ride from the jail.
