the charges against Scott--the hearing was continued to Tuesday,
April 16, 2013.
The Motion to Dismiss is based on the allegation that Scotty was subjected to discriminatory treatment based on his disabilities, living without the ability to speak, as well as PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.) These injuries primarily stem from when Scott was attacked while hitch-hiking, many years ago.
Supporters will gather at 8:15 am to vigil and be ready to enter the courtroom promptly by the 9:00 am start time.
