So, you know, I mentioned, like, for example, at the trial, they were acquitted on a lot of the, all of the violence charges.

Most of these protesters were acquitted on all the attempted murder, the discharging of firearm.

But the judge still applied the attempted murder guideline calculation when he was calculating their sentence.

That was a great conduct.

He still used that.

That's not supposed to happen.

That was reformed very recently.

So we're seeing this happen in these cases, and that's why it's important to spotlight these cases.

I mean, most of the material support of terrorism convicts in this country, these are cases coming out of al-Qaeda and ISIS.

More recently, judges that had to deal with this terrorism enhancement have realized this isn't

really a helpful tool for sentencing people because that enhancement always recommends a maximum sentence.

So you have dozens of cases, which we had put before the court, of ISIS and al-Qaeda material support convictions getting three to 12-year sentences.

And now we have these nonviolent protesters in the U.S.

with these life sentences.

So there's a significant disparity here.

Is there an opportunity for appeal?

So the appeal is going to be really important.

I think all of the defendants have well-preserved issues.

There were a lot of issues with the trial.

For example, they were prevented from using a self-defense.
