My experience going before Magistrate Byrnside in Boone County WV on the Oct. 30th for the events described here.  I have put off writing about this for a few days because I'm still gathering advice and attempting to understand what actually happened myself.  It's fuckin' weird.

I thought I was going to appear before the magistrate and be offered a plea bargain of some kind which I did not intend to accept.  At which point I wanted to push for a complete dismissal and/or set a date for trial.  ... I don't want to go into great detail about this... but, the bottom line is that "I" did not get to see the Magistrate.   My lawyer brought back word that they would accept a guilty plea to trespassing OR they Would be dismissing my charges, then RECHARGING Me And REARRESTING ME.  

Plead guilty to this or we will arrest you again.

So that's the current situation,  My Charges from 9-9-09 of  1) Trespassing, asked to leave, 2) conspiracy, 3) disobeying a lawful order... have been dismissed ... as I wished....

BUT I'm told that within a couple weeks I might receive a summons to turn myself in on .. new charges ... get processed, go to jail and need to be bailed out again ... etc.

TRO limited to Raleigh County West Virginia and "agents" of the enjoined. NOT to all Massey operations everywhere and everyone who ever heard of Mountain Top Removal.  Guilty of trespassing, 1k fine + court costs.  

The judge claimed there was no legal explanation for the acts of trespass because he repeatedly refused to hear of the NECESSITY of the actions in relation to saving the resources of the community.
