<snip>

Brashares is one of 50 defendants to go to trial. If found guilty, she face up to a year in jail.

Gottlieb said Brashares was offered a deal by the Manhattan district attorney's office to plead guilty to a disorderly conduct. She refused.

"She didn't do anything wrong," he said.

During his questioning of Peschong, Gottlieb asked the floor whip: "This convention, it took place in America, right?"

Before he could answer, Troy stood up and objected.

Judge A. Kirke Bartley, Jr. sustained the objection before she could sit down.

6. The goons are such girly men in those stupid yellow W hats.

Those men are manhandling her. Of course she resisted. She had a right to be there at the convention.
