Earlier this morning, Orange County Superior Court
Judge John Adams dismissed the misdemeanor criminal
charge that the Santa Ana City Attorney's office was
aggressively pursuing against Naui Huitzilopochtli, a
protestor arrested by Santa Ana Police on the night of
October 22, 2004 for using a bullhorn during a march
against police brutality.
The Santa Ana City Attorney's office was prosecuting
Huitzilopochtli for allegedly violating Section 10-153
of their Municipal Code which states in part that
"[i]t is unlawful for any person to cause, allow, or
permit the emission or transmission of any loud or
raucous noise from any sound-making or
sound-amplifying device in his possession or his
control".
Assistant City Attorney Lorena Penaloza asked for yet
another continuance, arguing that a key witness (i.e.,
the arresting officer) was in Washington, D.C. and
that she wasn't ready to go to trial today. Although
Judge Adams listened carefully to her arguments, he
dismissed the case saying the Santa Ana City
Attorney's office had been given more than enough time
to prepare!
As a result of this dismissal, Naui is now a free man!
A much longer report regarding today's events will be
posted on the internet within 24 hours!
Sincerely,
Duane J. Roberts
