>From Nick:
>In July of 2005 my friend Janice and I were arrested and charged with
a variety of charges in connections with two vandalisms in New Jersey.
The alleged actions were in relation to the HLS campaign. For reasons
>unknown to us, the case has sat for about two years but now is
>proceeding forward. Janice and I were indicted last week (meaning, a
>grand jury in NJ [not the scary kind of grand jury] found there to be
>enough evidence that we should be put on trial), so there will be
>upcoming appearance dates and court dates relatively soon. If this
goes to trial and I'm found guilty of the main charge (3rd degree criminal
>mischief), there's a 3 year mandatory minimum for me because of my prior
>convictions (6 1/2 year max for all charges, for both of us).Janice's
>situation isn't quite as bad in that there's no mandatory minimum, but
>both of us are facing jail time and desperately need money for our
>attorneys ASAP. We need to raise about $3,500 each for the case, and
>very quickly. After being released on bail back in 2005, we never set
up any support websites or put out calls for assistance since the SHAC-7
>trial was going on and support was much needed there; and, because our
>case was for some reason not going forward. Now, we really are in need
>of help from the animal rights community to help us fight these
charges with competent counsel.
>
>If anyone can help out in any way - organizing fundraisers, donating
>yourself, or letting any well-off animal rights supporters know, it
>would be very much appreciated.
