thank you for having me on sam yes my client is maricela rueda she is a young mother 33 years old she has a daughter that she loves 12 year old daughter she's an artist a poet a doula never been in trouble with the law before had a non-violent part in this noise demonstration um and her family and uh her you know our team we're just reeling from this uh
Excessive, shockingly excessive sentence.
So they had a group chat where they had been talking about having a noise demonstration on the 4th of July to show solidarity with immigration detainees at the Prairieland Detention Center.
In that group chat, they talked about the noise demonstration as being a very low-risk, safe, introductory type of demonstration activity.
When they show up, you know, she talks about wanting to be heard.
And she's, you know, saying these chants to them.
Some of the other protesters also had brought fireworks that were fired into the air.
Government witnesses admitted no damage or harm caused by the fireworks to property or people.
When officers showed up and the protesters started fleeing, my client and many of these defendants fled.
After they fled...
One of the officers was aiming at one of the protesters and another one of the demonstrators, Benjamin Song, had fired a suppressive fire, not at him, but near him.
That officer shot back and he was grazed by a ricocheting bullet.
He made a full recovery.
He got a few sutures and he was out of the hospital in three hours.
Thank God.
The shooter shot on the ground, right?
Yes.
But all of them were arrested.
