RNC '08 Report: Legal & Court Documents: Amended Criminal Complaint against the "RNC 8"

Amended Criminal Complaint against the "RNC 8"
Ramsey County Attorney, April 9th, 2009

Originally facing a single charge–Conspiracy to Riot in Furtherance of Terrorism–Gaertner’s office added three additional charges against the eight defendants in December of last year. Now, two of those charges have been dropped, clearly demonstrating that all the charges are a matter of political maneuvering, not a reasoned look at the evidence.
