When: Wednesday, January 23rd 2:30pm
Where: Oakland Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street - 3rd Floor, Courtroom 3
What: Court Support in front of Judge PJ Hamilton. The Judge may continue Jose’s court date until late March. If she denies this rescheduling request, the judge will be considering a motion to hold a hearing on Outrageous Government Behavior.
Please Note: A current ID is required to enter the building. You may not bring weapons, your medicine, or anything that might be considered illegal. Security checkpoint includes a walkthrough metal Detector and x-ray machine for handbags. Cameras may not be used inside the courtroom.
Details: On April 2nd, 2012 Oaksterdam University and multiple locations which were claimed to be affiliated, were raided by federal authorities, DEA, IRS & US Marshalls. Many observers, protesters, journalists and Oakland Police Department responded to the raid, creating a chaotic downtown scene as Federal Authorities tried to exit with the evidence. At Coffee shop blue Sky, Oakland Police Department was not onsite, nor was there caution tape up or anything barrier between protesters and the building that DEA was inside. Video footage shows the entire crowd was jostled. During this altercation between officers and protesters, Mr. Gutierrez was tackled to the ground, and beaten.
Jose is being charged with assault on a federal officer, a term that could face a maximum of 8 years. He was reporting live from the Oaksterdam raid for KPFA. He is currently represented pro bono by Tony Serra, Edie Lerman, and Omar Figueroa.
There is chance the judge will continue the motion, setting a date that Tony will be available to argue. If the judge denies this change, Omar & Edie will be seeking permission from the judge for a hearing on outrageous government behavior .The motion argues that the government caused this scenario to go down as it did, if granted, the judge will set a date to hear from observers, and law enforcement on what went down during the raid.
