The SHAC7 Situation

This deserves more attention. Unfortunately this is a case that could have been won, but the original defense team apparently over-estimated the jury. Now their clients are stuck in a long, slow appeals process during which they're likely to languish in federal prison. In brief, a group of animal rights protesters have been convicted of a number of fairly absurd federal conspiracy and stalking charges based primarily on testimony that does not relate to any of the defendants specifically.
