UPDATE: Results of Nov 18 trial of May 3rd Grand Central NPT Protesters

From Bev Rice:

I was delighted to tell my NLG lawyer, Mark  Taylor, that  the MTA policeman who wrote the summons wasn't my arresting officer.  After being sworn in, this officer said he was called in from Penn Station because "there was a war  protest in Grand Central."   When Judge Weinberg asked him for details, the officer stated he couldn't identify me. The officer continued, "a lieutenant  told me to write out the summons."  Judge Weinberg thanked him for his candor and dismissed the case against me.
