Got a call from Mr. Breen to assure me he was on the way, or maybe he was just checking to be sure I hadn’t forgotten. As the long check in line came close to the end, I approached the gal to assure her I was here. My name was not on the list and she suggested I call my attorney. When I called Peter was already in the parking lot getting his files out of the car. Mr. Breen straightened out the no name stuff in short order. Shortly later he had me walk outside to tell me the case had been dismissed. They did however attach a leave to reinstate. Peter told me he will work on clarifying that for me. Mr. Breen also mentioned that the dismissal may have had something to do with being in settlement talks concerning the 1st amendment case which has been ongoing, that possibly the city wants to look as if they are trying to clean up their act. I will have a need to “behave” myself until this possibility to reinstate the case has been lifted. Probably the two or three weeks needed to settle the other case.

As had been requested, Peter B. was supplied by the city with the recorded 911 call of the day in question. Tommorrow there will be a deposition at, of, or both, of Planned Parenthood. This is where the audio/video recording will be in supplied, or viewed, if such exists. Next court date will be 10/19 at 9am. Not sure if this is it, ( {10/19} don't believe it is yet, still a status hearing ) but the pretrial will be here in Aurora. The actual jury trial will be held in Geneva. 7/27 Able to skip the long line once again this morning.

The line for court call was about 50 people long this morning (7/6). Mr. Breen and his associate (Tyson, I believe) were able to circumvent the long line and check in when they wished. We were second before the bench from what I observed. On the previous date Tome B. made a formal request for the video/audio recordings from Planned Parenthood from the time in question. As of this morning they have provided nothihng, resting thier case on the complaint by a Miss Laura Castelton (PP). Next date is 7/27, still in the discovery/status mode. My understanding is that at that time they will review discovery, as well as make objections, and that the jury trial will be sometime this fall. My understanding is that pre-trail will be in Aurora, jury trial maybe in Geneva. Both attorneys seemed enthusiastic about the case. P. S. Mr. Breen has intentions of running for State Representative next election. Sure pays to have legal counsel! The line for court call was about 50 people long this morning (7/6).

His plan was to ask for a continuance to further research the case. Between the judge, prosecutor, Tom B. & myself quite a considerable conversation took place. Tom B. made a formal request for Planned Parenthood's audio/video recordings of the incident in question explaining he needed them to be able to mount a proper defense. There will be a status hearing 7/6 at 9am, my understanding is that is when he will be let know about the recordings just mentioned. Believe August 22 or 26 had been set for trial date. A request was made for a jury trial. Something Tom B. mentioned was that he had intent to see this case through, even if that meant appealing a bad judgement.
