Reply #4: good for them

I sure hope there's a strong dem running for our city so we can throw these guys out.

Legal update : A judge has found the city in contempt of its ruling regarding the release of prisoners. The city will be charged $1000 per each of the 470 prisoners that should have been released within the time frame mandated earlier this afternoon.

Also, there was a dispute in court over the exact number of detainees who are currently "lost" within the system, meaning they are in limbo between being handcuffed and actually being charged. city has admitted there are 54 of these cases. Legal is suggesting there are up to 700.

Either way, the number detained is above and beyond the 470 people the city is currently required to release.

A more in-depth legal reportback will be held at 7:00 pm in rm# 1317, 100 Centre St. Open to the public.
