At 9AM I’ll be recording the trial of Ian Freeman by the State of New Hampshire. I would normally provide live streamed updates but that has been banned by the Judge. See for yourself, it’s the first in three pages of restrictions. This order is a direct response to my motion to record the trial.
At the end of my last visit to the Cheshire County Superior Court I was told by a court bailiff that he’ll break my camera after he manhandled it.
I’m posting these documents here because this courthouse is known for its hostility toward cameras (as well as hats). It should come as no surprise that there are growing numbers of people who have contempt for public servants and courts who attempt to deny the community access to trials that they are forced to pay for and a justice system that systematically harms peaceful people instead of protecting them.
I’ll provide updates as quickly as possible.
If they're really concerned about "outside influences" on the proceedings, they should stop allowing witnesses to testify where the jury might hear them.
