<p>HEY NYC! •You are needed• on Thursday for this solidarity action: https://t.co/C8B73t9g5r #Justice4Cecily Be there! pic.twitter.com/AHwLzRIMvd</p>— Occupy Wall Street (@OccupyWallSt) February 12, 2014</blockquote>
Yo Occupy!
Here's a #Justice4Cecily update! I earnestly invite each of you to join us Thursday afternoon as we pack the courtroom.
Be there Thursday! Details: https://www.facebook.com/events/732227263455605/
Court let out for today about an hour ago. We didn't get to jury selection, but we did find a judge, do the pretrial hearing, and set some dates for the rest of the trial.
Unfortunately, our judge has to see other cases tomorrow so we will not be in court again until Thursday (Wednesday is a court holiday). Jury selection will occur Thursday and the prosecution's case will be heard on Friday.
Next Monday will again be a court holiday and our judge will again be busy elsewhere on Tuesday, so next week we won't be in court again until Wednesday.
Peace,
Justin Wedes

End the police state! Solidarity with Cecily!
Former mayor Bloomberg is mayor no more. It's time to purge his private army and clean up the gunk that he had left behind. Solidarity with Cecily and all who has had a free "mammogram"!
Imagine if OWS started under DeBlasio's term. Best wishes for Cecily today, that her torment and terror be over soon.

Could someone who is better at it than me, write a concise, compact, compelling story with a few telling photos and/or a shot video, that we could post here, to be sent to as many local media outlet submission departments as we can find?
Even if it's only published in local alternative press, it might help to spread this story.

What is the outcome of Cecily's trial?
sounds like the officer tag itself out
