Down to the Wire for Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion

posted Jan. 15, 2003

It appears to be "down to the wire" in the case of Ed "NJ Weedman" Forchion. Today's edition of the Philadelphia Tribune has the most powerful commentary by Professor of Journalism(Temple University)Linn Washington. He says it all. If anyone is able to attend the State of NJ has scheduled the 3 Judge Intensive Supervised Program Resentencing Hearing 1/17/03 at 9:30a.m. at the Hunterdon County Justice Center, 65 Park ave., Courtroom#1, Flemington,NJ. It should be more entertaining than anything on TV as the State tries to finess its illegal incarceration of Mr. Forchion exercising his 1st Amendment Right of Free Speech.

Four days later on 1/21/03 Federal Judge Irenas will review the State's handling of Mr. Forchion. This will take place at 10a.m. at the US District Court, 1John F.Gerry Plaza in Camden,NJ. It is in the Federal Court where we are hopeful that Justice will ultimately prevail.

Hope you can be there. Steve Fenichel, M.D.
