It has been clear from day one that Cecily McMillan has not received a fair and open trial. The job of a judge during a jury trial isn’t to guide the verdict to fit his opinion. Judge Zweibel, who consistently suppressed evidence, has demonstrated his clear bias by consistently siding with the prosecution. In addition to suppressing evidence, he imposed a gag order on Cecily’s lawyers, which is a clear violation of their 1st Amendment Rights, and placed the burden of proof on the defense, not the prosecution. He is rightly known as ‘a prosecutor in robes’.
We want President Obama to demand that NY Governor Cuomo pardon Ms. McMillan, investigate the record of Judge Zweibel, and take action if he is found being guilty of serving with bias instead of impartiality. http://justice4cecily.org
