Re-Create 68 Organizer Found Not Guilty! Police Misconduct Apparent, Justice is Served!

 

Denver, CO - Rebecca Wallace and Althea Licht of the law firm Killmer, Lane & Newman LLP successfully defended Re-Create 68 organizer Carlo Garcia against an unlawful arrest that occurred on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 during the DNC, resulting in numerous legal charges against Mr. Garcia. Carlo Garcia participated in defending the community against hate speech perpetrated by Rubin Israel and other Christian extremists who were determined to disrupt a lawfully permitted event.

 

Mr. Garcia was found not guilty by a jury of his peers on the charge of "interference of a police officers duty by failure to obey a lawful order". Charges of "assault" and "causing a public disturbance" never reached a jury due to lack of evidence of such crimes.

 

Contrary to the comments of Richard Rosenthal from the City of Denver's Independent Monitors Office, not all was on the up and up in regards to police behavior during the DNC. After a jury of independent Denver citizens honestly reviewed the evidence, including a damming video that directly contradicted police officers' fabricated testimony of the brutal assault of Mr. Garcia, they found in favor of the truth and entered a verdict of not guilty on all charges.

 

 "I was unnecessarily and viciously attacked as were dozen of other Americans and their civil liberties during the DNC. The government tried to create a police state, fortunately justice was served by the people," said Carlo Garcia. The members of Re-Create 68 would like to thank the lawyers of the firm Killmer, Lane & Newman for their continued commitment to truth and justice and, in turn, hold the City of Denver officials directly responsible for creating a volatile atmosphere that restricted the community's ability to properly exercise their constitutional rights.
