Douglas County Jail Court Report

By Frank Cordaro

The four out of state "Space Weapons Bazaar" protesters who were
arrested Wed. Nov 4th at the Qwest Center in Omaha spent the night at
the Douglas County Jail. We were Fr. Louis Vitale of CA, Fr. Jim
Murphy of WI, Steve Clemens of MN and me Frank Cordaro of IA. We were
all charged with a City of Omaha ordinance "20-155 Request to Leave" a
misdemeanor offense with a maximum penalty of six months in jail
and/or a five hundred dollar fine.

On Wed Nov 5th we appeared before Judge Darryl Lowe in what is called
"jail court" with sixty other Douglas Co Jail inmates at 1:30 p.m. for
what turned out to be the most entertaining and perplexing two hours I
have ever spent in a court room.
