violation of any order, so to be charged after<br />
the fact is unconstitutional. Additionally, I was<br />
the only one charged with witness tampering for<br />
HEYBURNS legal strategy!”<br />
On March 3rd Robert Edward Fochion Jr.<br />
was arrested and detained on the current witness<br />
tampering charge. To add final insult to injury<br />
Weedmans attorney Edward Hayburn did the unthinkable<br />
and quit his position as Forchion’s defense<br />
council and started working for Forchion’s<br />
prosecution. The state of New Jersey filed a<br />
motion on March 7, 2017, for pretrial detention<br />
to incarcerate Forchion until trial. Forchion held<br />
a hunger strike for nearly two weeks while being<br />
held without bail, calling himself a political prisoner.<br />
The trial began October 26, 2017. On November<br />
8, the jury found him not-guilty of one charge<br />
of second-degree witness tampering, which<br />
supposedly was the charge that had clause of<br />
being held without bail and the jury was hung on<br />
another charge in the third degree.<br />
So why is it that on January 20<strong>18</strong>, NJ<br />
Weedman was again denied bail pending a re-trial?<br />
Why is it that only after having his business<br />
targeted and even his business license revoked,<br />
did the city clerk and zoning officer both admit<br />
that the revoked license and in turn the original<br />
citations for 11:00 pm closing hour were done in<br />
error? Why is it that 43 charges, a hung jury and<br />
a not-guilty verdict later, a man is sill in jail almost<br />
a year for non-violent charges? Is it because Ed<br />
Forchion is dangerous, or is he just NJ Weedman,<br />
Political Prisoner #420?<br />
