Subject: Jury tags FBI and Oakland Police for 4.4 million

Heard it on the radio. Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney won about 4.4
million, the jury coming back with unanimous verdicts on all but one cause
of action. Some of the individual officers were hit with punitive damages
for violations of first and fourth amendment rights.

Apparently, the Oakland Police defense of "we just followed the lead of the FBI" didn't sit well with the jurors

Here's a couple of links. The Bari site link is jammed right now, because
the media, which didn't take this story seriously, is now scrambling for
information.
