Motion for New Trial Filed in St. Paul's Only RNC Conviction to Date

St. Paul City Attorney John Choi has a 1 for 10 (or 1 for 34, depending on how you look at it) record in RNC misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor convictions; only Sean McCoy, a Montana street medic, was convicted on a single charge out of 10 defendants and 34 charges brought to trial thus far.  Judge Edward Wilson sentenced McCoy last month to a $50 fine plus an additional $31 in costs for the conviction on one count of Public Assembly Without a Permit.  Yesterday, McCoy and National Lawyers Guild attorney Bruce Nestor filed a motion asking the court to order a new trial.

The city of St. Paul wastes scarce resources to pursue a $50 fine


Recent acquittals and dropped charges highlight the continued waste of taxpayer funds in pursuing RNC cases
