By Joy First由快乐第一

Madison, WI — I was involved in a jury trial in Washington, DC October 20-24 for an action in the Senate gallery on March 12.威斯康辛州麦迪逊-我参与了陪审团审判在华盛顿十月二十日至2 4号的行动在参议院的画廊3月1 2日。 In summary, five individuals, including me, were acquitted, and five people were found guilty.总之，五个人，包括我在内，被无罪释放，并有5人被判有罪。 But what made this trial so unique was that the government attempted to hide illegally obtained and falsified evidence from us.但是，这次审判作出如此独特的是，政府试图隐瞒非法获取和伪造证据，我们。

On March 12, 2008 at about 1:00 pm, ten activists went to the Senate gallery to again plead with our Senators to stop funding the war in Iraq. 3月12日， 2008年大约下午1:00 ， 10个活动去了美国参议院画廊再次恳求我们的参议员停止资助在伊拉克的战争。 This action was organized by the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance (这一行动是由全国运动的非暴力抵抗运动（ www.iraqpledge.org ) The activists were Maria Allwine, Linda LeTendre, Max Obuszewski, Manijeh Saba, Tim Chadwick, Ellen Barfield, Judith Kelly, Eve Tetaz, Art Landis, and myself. ）的活跃分子玛丽亚Allwine ，琳达LeTendre ，马克斯Obuszewski ， Manijeh沙巴，添查德威克，艾伦巴菲尔德，朱凯利，除夕Tetaz ，艺术兰迪斯，和我本人。 We each wore a t-shirt that said, “WE WILL NOT BE SILENT” covered by a jacket or shirt and carried a small 12 inch square of cheesecloth.我们每个人穿一件T恤说： “我们将不会保持沉默”所涵盖的夹克或衬衫和一小开展12个平方英寸的棉布。 One-by-one, eight of us stood opened our jacket, put the cloth on head and proclaimed, “I am a ghost of the Iraq war.逐一，八个为我们打开我们的外套，把布头，并宣布， “我是一个鬼的伊拉克战争。 Innocent people have suffered and died as a result of the war.无辜的人民遭受痛苦和死亡，战争的结果。 Stop funding the war.” We were immediately arrested, but the Senators did hear our message.停止战争拨款。 “我们立刻遭到警方逮捕，但参议院没有听到我们的消息。 Judith and Art were not able to speak.朱迪和艺术无法说话。 They were arrested, for no cause, as soon as they stood up because the police believed they were part of our group.他们被逮捕，因为没有任何理由，只要他们站起来，因为警方相信他们是我们的小组。 We were taken to jail and processed.我们被带到监狱和处理。 Eight of the activists were held until about 1:00 am.八国集团的活动进行了大约到上午01点00分。 Four of us were held for more than 30 hours, with no food or water and with painful shackles around our ankles for the last 13 hours.四，我们举行了超过30个小时，没有食物和水以及与痛苦的束缚我们的踝关节周围的最后13个小时。 All ten of us were arraigned at around 7:30 pm on March 13 and we were all released at that time.所有10名被传讯，我们在晚上7:30左右在3月13日，我们都公布在这个时间。

We were charged with disrupting Congress which carries a maximum of 6 months in jail.我们被指控犯有破坏国会的最高的6个月的监禁。 When there is the possibility of 6 months in jail, the court is required to give us a jury trial.当有可能在6个月监禁，要求法院给我们一个陪审团审判。 We had a trial date set for September 29 with Judge Robert Morin.我们的审判日期定于9月29日与法官罗伯特莫林。 Judge Morin has a reputation for being fair and a champion of human rights.法官莫林了声誉，公正和人权卫士。 When I arrived in DC for the September 29 trial I was told that it was postponed because of scheduling problems on the part of the judge and the prosecuting attorney.当我来到华盛顿的审判9月29日我被告知，这是推迟，因为调度问题的一部分，法官和检察官。 So I made an unnecessary trip to Washington, DC.所以，我做了不必要的访问，华盛顿特区。 I believe that this type of thing is one of the many things the government does to try to make it difficult and dissuade us from continuing our dissent.我认为，这种类型的事情之一，许多事情政府不设法使困难和阻止我们继续持不同政见者。

The trial was rescheduled for October 20.审判改期到10月20日。 So, again, I flew to DC.所以，我又一次前往华盛顿。 As usual, nine out of the ten defendants made thedecision to defend ourselves, pro se, with an attorney advisor working with us.像往常一样，九十名被告作出thedecision保卫自己，亲本身，与律师顾问与我们合作。 We would divide up the roles of the trial among ourselves.我们将鸿沟的角色之间的审判自己。 By going pro se, we can say more about what we were doing and why than an attorney is allowed to say in the courtroom.进入职业本身，我们可以说更多的了解我们在做，为什么比是一名律师说，允许在法庭上。 Ann Wilcox was helping us as our attorney advisor, and Jack Barringer helped us all, though he was there primarily as attorney for Eve Tetaz.安考克斯是帮助我们作为我们的律师顾问，和杰克巴林杰帮助我们大家，虽然他在那里主要是因为律师除夕Tetaz 。 We had been corresponding by email to plan for the trial, and on the evening before the trial was to begin, October 19, we came together to continue our planning – a process that continued throughout the five days of the trial.我们一直在通过电子邮件的相应计划的审判，并于晚上在审判开始， 10月19日，我们走到一起，继续我们的计划-这个过程持续了5天的审判。

Our defense was that we did not have the intention (having intent is a part of the statute that we were being charged with) of disrupting Congress.我们的防守是我们没有的意图（意图是有一部分的章程，我们被指控）扰乱大会。 We went there to practice our First Amendment right to petition our government for a redress of grievances and to fulfill our Nuremberg obligation of speaking out when our government is acting illegally.我们去实践我们的第一修正案的权利，我们的政府请愿的申诉，并履行我们的义务纽伦堡发言时，我们的政府是非法行为。

On Monday morning, October 20, we took care of some pre-trial matters with Judge Morin and Mr. Warren, the government prosecutor.星期一早上， 10月20日，我们采取了一些照顾预审事项与法官莫华伦先生，政府检察官。 A few months before the trial began, we received “discovery” from the government.几个月前的审判开始，我们收到了“发现”的政府。 Discovery is information that the government has and will be using as evidence during the trial.发现信息，政府将利用作为证据在审判期间。 They are required by law to provide this to the defendants before the trial.他们所要求的法律规定，这对被告在审判之前。 It can include police reports, statements from witnesses, videos of the action etc. In the discovery packet was a report from Capitol Police officers stating that they knew we were coming to the Senate gallery on March 12.它可以包括警察报告，陈述，证人，视频等行动，发现包是一个由国会报告警务人员指出，他们知道我们是来画廊参议院3月12日。 For several weeks we had been trying to get additional discovery so we could find out how the police knew we were coming, but the government denied they had any more information for us.几个星期我们一直在试图得到更多的发现，使我们可以找出警察知道我们是未来，但政府一直否认他们有任何更多信息，对我们来说。 So on Monday morning, Max again filed a motion asking for additional discovery so we could understand how the Capitol Police received the information that we were coming.因此，星期一上午，马克斯再次提出一项动议，要求提供额外的发现，使我们能够了解如何国会警方接获的资料，我们来了。

There has been a recent national news story revolving around the Maryland State Police (MSP) spy scandal, with the MSP illegally spying on peace, death penalty, and environmental groups.出现了近年来全国新闻故事围绕马里兰州州警察（中型项目）间谍丑闻，而非法从事间谍活动的MSP的和平，判处死刑，环保团体。 A few of the defendants in this trial have also been involved in this incident, being illegally spied on by the MSP.一些被告在这次审判也参与了这一事件，被非法刺探的中型项目。 Because of this, we were suspicious about how the Capitol Police were expecting us in the gallery on March 12.正因为如此，我们可疑如何国会警方希望我们在走廊3月12日。

As we filed motions for additional discovery weeks before the trial, the government denied they had any more information.正如我们提出动议的额外星期前发现的审判中，政府一直否认他们有任何更多信息。 When we filed the motion again on Monday morning, the government again denied that they had any additional discovery to give us.当我们提出的议案再次星期一上午，政府再次否认他们有任何额外的发现给我们。

We waited in the halls of the courthouse most of Monday for a murder trial to conclude, but at 3:00 pm we began jury selection for our trial.我们一直在等待在大厅里的大多数法院星期一的一宗谋杀案的审判结束，但在下午3点，我们开始挑选陪审团对我们的审判。 After questioning the jury on everything from whether they knew any of the parties involved in the trial to whether they felt so strongly about the war that they could not render a fair verdict, we had a jury selected by 5:00 pm.经警方查问后陪审团就从他们是否知道任何有关各方在审判中他们是否感觉到如此强烈的战争，他们无法提供一个公平的判决，我们已选定陪审团由下午5:00 。 Each side was able to strike three people from the pool with no questions asked.每一方都能够罢工3人从泳池没有问题。 We were fairly satisfied with the final jury.我们相当满意，最后陪审团。

We were set to begin the trial on Tuesday morning.我们即将开始的审判今天上午。 Before the jury was brought in, Mr. Warren, the prosecutor, said that he had just received a 26-page intelligence report from the Capitol Police for March 12, the day of our arrest.之前，陪审团被带到先生，华伦，检察官说，他刚刚收到一份26页的情报报告，国会警察的3月12日，这一天我们被逮捕。 He said that he had not had time to look at it, but that he was told that there were three pages relevant to our case that he could give us.他说，他没有时间看，但他被告知，有三个网页有关我们的情况，他可以给我们。 He said the rest of document contained sensitive security information and we could not have access to it.他说，其余的文件载有敏感的安全信息，我们无法获得它。 He provided us with the table of contents for the document and two pages with information on possible protesters in the Capitol area that was completely irrelevant to our action.他为我们提供了目录的文件和两页的资料可能抗议者在国会山地区，是完全不相干的，以我们的行动。

The trial then proceeded with the government’s case after the opening statements by both sides.审判接着与政府的案件后，致开幕词双方。 Linda LeTendre gave a powerful opening statement on behalf of the defendants, asking the jury how far we would allow the door of democracy to open.琳达LeTendre了一个强大的开幕词中代表被告，要求陪审团多远，我们将允许民主的大门打开。 It was surprising that Mr. Warren raised no objections to any part of her moving statement.令人惊讶的是，沃伦先生没有提出反对意见的任何部分，她感人的发言。

The prosecutor called four witnesses.检察官传唤了4名证人。 The first two witnesses were gatekeepers in the Senate gallery.首先两名证人看门人在参议院的画廊。 The first witness, in particular, was not a credible witness at all.第一个证人，特别是不是可信的证人在所有。 He didn’t clearly answer questions, went off on tangents for the prosecutor and during the cross exam by the defense, and was extremely nervous on the stand.他没有明确回答问题，到了上切线的检察官和跨期间考试的国防，是非常紧张的立场。 He talked about how dangerous he thought we were.他谈到多么危险，他以为我们是。

The third witness was a Capitol Police officer who was able to identify two of the defendants, Eve and Tim.第三证人是一个国会警察谁能够确定两名被告，除夕和蒂姆。 He was the arresting officer of Eve and Tim and he was able to describe what they were doing in the gallery on March 12.他被逮捕人员的除夕和蒂姆和他能够说明他们正在做的事情在走廊3月12日。 The next witness was also a Capitol Police officer and the arresting officer of the other 8 defendants.下一个证人也有国会警务人员和逮捕人员的其他8被告。 He was not at all a credible witness.他不是在所有可信的证人。 He claimed he remembered arresting all of us and remembered exactly what we were doing, but he did not tell the truth on the stand.他声称，他记得逮捕了我们所有人的记忆正是我们在做，但他没有讲真话的立场。 It would have been physically impossible for one man to arrest each one of us as he stated.这本来是不可能的一名男子逮捕我们每个人作为他说。 He said all of us stood up and shouted, but two of the defendants, Judith and Art, stood up and begin taking out their gauze and were arrested before they even said anything.他说，我们所有人都站了起来，高喊，但两名被告，朱迪和艺术，站了起来，并开始考虑他们的纱布和被逮捕之前，他们甚至说什么。

After the four witnesses, the government rested its case and the jury was dismissed.在4名证人，政府休息的情况下和陪审团被驳回。 It was almost the end of the day and Max renewed the motion for additional discovery.这几乎是一天结束时和马克斯再次动议的额外发现。 In looking at the table of contents from the security report, Max thought there might be additional information in the report that would help us to understand how the Capitol Police knew we were coming.在看表的内容从安全报告，马克斯认为有可能是其他信息的报告，将有助于我们了解国会警察知道我们来了。 Max asked for three specific pages from the report.马克斯要求三个具体页的报告。 Judge Morin said he would quickly look through the report and determine whether we should have access to any other pages.法官莫兰表示，他将很快期待通过该报告，并确定我们是否应该获得任何其他网页。

Judge Morin decided that we should have two additional pages and when we saw the content of the pages we were stunned and called for a short break.法官莫兰决定，我们应该有另外两个网页时，我们看到的网页内容，我们非常震惊，并呼吁短暂休息。 What we realized is that a personal email that Max sent to a small group of people on the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance (NCNR) organizing list proposing the action on March 12 was in the hands of the Capitol Police.我们意识到什么是个人的电子邮件，传送到最高一小群人在全国运动的非暴力抵抗（ NCNR ）组织名单的行动提出在3月12日是手中的国会警察。 Not only that, but the document was falsified by adding a false url to make it look like it came from a public domain source.不仅如此，该文件是伪造的，增加了虚假的网址，使之看起来像它来自一个公共领域的来源。

We suspected that the Capitol Police could have received this information from the Maryland State Police.我们怀疑，国会警察可以收到此信息来自马里兰州警方报案。 Because this was a personal email, the only way it could have been obtained was through an infiltrator being on the NCNR organizing list or through hacking into someone’s computer to gain access to personal email – both illegal activities.由于这是一个个人的电子邮件，唯一的办法可能已获得是通过渗入正在对NCNR组织名单或通过侵入他人的计算机获得的个人电子邮件-两个非法活动。 We held a brief meeting to discuss where to go with this, talking about asking for a dismissal, sanctions against the government, and our lack of opportunity to cross-examine government witnesses on the newly obtained documents because the government had rested its case.我们举行了一次简短的会议，讨论到哪里这一点，谈论要求解雇，制裁反政府，我们没有机会盘问证人政府对新获得的文件，因为政府已经休息的情况。 If we would have had the information while government witnesses were on the stand, we would have been able to question them about the documents.如果我们将不得不的信息，而政府对证人的立场，我们本来可以问他们的证件。
