UFS (7-22-69, Detroit) With the possibility of twenty years imprisionment facing him, John sinolair, Minister Information/White Panther Party and his attorneysbegan their defense in the retrial of Brother John's third dope case. Last month, Judge Colombo of the Recorder's Court Bench in Detroit declared a mistrial after prejudicial remarks were given by the chief prosecution witness, undercover scum pig patrolman Vahan "Louie" KaPIGan. Not only is John on trial for "possesion of marijuana, third offense", but the defense team is also challenging the constitutionality of marijuana laws. The challenge is based on the "cruel and/or unusual punishment" for posession of the benevolent weed and the fact that Cannibas Sativa is harmless anyways. (Back in the thirties when marijuana was classified by the federal government as a narcotic, scare tactics and bizarre ruses were given to the unsuspecting American public through the bogus establishment news media, creating a demand for the prohibition of grass which followed.)

No one can really speculate exactly how John's trial can last or what the outcome will be. All we know is that the Detroit pig structure, the local facist force, is out to get him but hls excellent team of revolutionary lawyers, Ravitz, Cockrel, Segasta etc..., are out to save him (and you too, brother) Dig it, man You're sitting at taht very same table, listening to every word in that very same courtroom because your freedom is on the line, too. Running out to the beach in the early morning with a lid of tokes forgetting about what's going on in Detroit or anywhere in the universe is like scheduling a heart transplant for yourself and going to see a movie on coronary diseases instead.

Get a carload of your friends together, head down to Recorder's Jest Court at 9:00 am and learn. Watch what's going on. We are next. We can't get fucked when our turn comes up. Support John. He is our BROTHER really....
