Latest Report, Early November

Latest Report, in the words of Scott:
On Weds., 10/17, Scott Yoos and a healthy cadre of supporters returned to the County Courthouse; (this time WITH the assistance of Scott's much-valued Attorney, Larry Hildes, -who travels with here with his wife/Legal Assistant, Karen; clear down from Bellingham, WA... some 3+ hrs. distant!)   Prior to this latest Hearing, Atty. Hildes had submitted a well-reasoned "Motion to Dismiss" to the Court, and he came prepared to argue for an official Dismissal of the charges against Scott.  The (Persecuting/)Prosecuting Attorney, Andrew Toynbee, requested more time to examine this first Motion, so, a new Hearing date was set for the Motion Hearing, ...November 26th, 2012, (the Monday after Thanksgiving).  The time has yet-to-be-set, but presumedly, the Hearing will begin at 9am, (again @ the Thurston County Courthouse, at 2000 Lakeridge Drive SW in Olympia).  *Watch the blogspot for updates, but (barring unanticipated changes), there will be another pre-Hearing Support Vigil (with signs and such) starting at around 8:15 am. (Please come well-dressed for the weather!)  On the current schedule, we're now anticipating another pre-Trial hearing on 12/12, and the Trial itself should begin in February, 2013.  (It is anticipated to last a week or more.) 
 Excitingly, Atty. Hildes let Scott & his supporters know that he is now in conversation with the Federal Department of Justice regarding this case, and they have expressed a keen interest in possibly pursuing it further.   Larry has also suggested that "Letters" to 'those other papers' (...yes, even The Daily Zero & other print media!) may prove beneficial in nudging this Case towards a just, positive outcome.

 Letters to the elected County Prosecutor (Andrew Toynbee) & to Scott's Prosecuting Attorney (Jon Tunheim) could also be worthwhile.  Both of these gents are reachable at: 2000 Lakeridge Dr. SW,  Building 2, Olympia, WA 98502.
(Hokey as it may seem to some, Scott still  remains fairly-convinced that prayers & good wishes make a difference, too!)
 AGAIN, we'll look forward to seeing as many of y'All as can make it, at the next Motion Hearing, on Monday, (11/26th) at 8:15 or 9am!
 At the close of our meeting, Scott repeated his heartfelt thanks for the community's continued love and support.
...WE SHALL OVERCOME, (someday!)

- Ahimsa.
Thank you Scott and everyone. Stay strong!

Remember:

Scott's next court date is:
Monday, November 26, at 9:00 am
in Thurston County Superior Court,
Building 2.

At this time, the Motion to Dismiss filed by 
Scott's attorney will be considered.
