Videos of Nuclear Resisters Speaking in Court

Friends,

If you've been keeping track of the nuclear resisters who blockaded the Bangor Trident nuclear ballistic missile submarine base on August 6th, we have a surprise.  In addition to the written statements (for some of the defendants) published in an earlier post, we now have videos of all ten resisters who appeared in court on November 9th.

The first video covers the contested hearings for Malcolm Chaddock and Bernie Meyer.  The second video covers the eight mitigation hearings.  In order of appearance, they are: Leonard Eiger, Mack Johnson, Tom Rogers, Betsy Lamb, George Rodkey, Brenda McMillan, Michael Siptroth and Elizabeth Murray.

Now you can see and hear each resister's reasoning for participating in the August 6th action.

We are thankful to videographer Rodney Herold for joining us in court that day and recording the proceedings.

You can also read a summary of the hearings in the November 12th news release.

Toward a Nuclear Free World,

Leonard
