Criminal charges against pro-life activist Peter D’Attilio thrown out by judge.
Mass Resistance has been covering the arrest and prosecution of Peter D’Attilio, for the horrible crime of passing out pro-life bookmarks at a Catholic fair in Franklin MA. Judge Steven Ostrach, of Wrentham District Court has thrown out the charges and berated the prosecutor for pursuing the case.
You will find the police report most amusing, as it is interspersed with comments from D’Attilio, who appears to be a disciplined activist with a very orderly mind.
Thomas More Law Center is planning a civil rights lawsuit as a response to the false arrest, and six month delay of the court hearing.
Mass resistance reports that the ATF is now monitoring Peter D’Attilio for the horrible crime of passing out pro-life information. Pharmer guesses that the ATF thinks this guy who opposes killing, is a terrorist. They have a duty to monitor bookmark distribution, similar to the duty of the TSA to check the underpants of toddlers for bombs.
