2001-11-17 So, they plan to go all the way to the highest court if the loose the upcoming appeals trial. So, where are the funds coming from? I was under the impression the appeal could not take place unless the BWMA came up with the appeals funds, and to this date they haven't. If they lose, how do they plan to pay? And what if they go to a higher court and still lose, will they except that decision and obey the law or continue to rebel?
The appeals trial begins on Monday. I hope those close to the scene will keep us up to date on what will transpire.
