Hearing Postponed, until next week

Yesterday's hearing was postponed because all interpreters were unavailable. Janine Unsoeld posted an article about the situation, here.

The hearing was re-scheduled for Wednesday the 19th, December 2012 at 1:30 PM.

There will be a traditional pre-hearing support vigil starting at 12:30 PM.

Let's hope charges will be dropped, so everyone can save face.

See you there!

More information: Yoos, wearing an orange reflective vest and bicycling home late on the evening of June 1, 2011 -- after his volunteer shift at the Capitol Theater -- was stopped by an officer of the Olympia Police Department as he was throwing some damp paper towels in a city-owned dumpster adjacent to Twisters Donuts, 2302 Fourth Ave. He was originally cited for criminal trespass and obstructing justice, but one of the officers called to the scene filed a report 3-1/2 weeks after the incident alleging that Yoos had kicked him. This constitutes a felony, and the case, formerly being heard in the Olympia City Municipal Court was bumped up to the Thurston County Superior Court.
