Will Justice Prevail Today For Randy Wolling "AKA" Sage?

The deputy DA rested the people's case yesterday afternoon. Then the public defender did the same. Judge Woods called for a ten minute recess at this time. Standing outside the courtroom Mr. Knudson walked up to us and said "Randy wants to testify." I looked at Sol and we both shook our heads no. I was happy at the outcome so far in the case and so was Sol.

Randy Wolling was charged on Friday Oct 28, 2011 at 2:20am with three counts. Resisting arrest, illegal lodging, and unlawful assembly. He has been occupying a jail cell ever since. The evidence we heard yesterday from Lt David Mitchell and police officer Goebel did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Wollling was guilty. I was in this raid and both these officers lied under oath.

The deputy DA played video's for Lt Mitchell and he could not identify Randy in any of them. These video's were a joke. What an embarrassment for Mitchell. Lt Mitchell claims he knew what all 90 officers were doing and saying the entire night of the raid. All though he could not identify Randy Wolling the man they arrested in these video's. I started laughing to myself when Lt. Mitchell said, the raid team surrounded the food table the night of the raid first, in case we used the food utensils as weapons against the police. That is a LIE! I was sleeping in the medic tent directly next door and they NEVER surrounded the food tent.

Police officer Goebel who arrested Randy Wolling the morning of Oct 28, 2011 took the stand. He again brings up the subject of unsanitary conditions at the civic center. He mentioned the grounds keepers have had a hard time doing there job at civic center. I have been a 24/7 occupier and I have seen the grounds keepers once out there working, until yesterday. They have Not been doing their job! Officer Goebel stated he never personally told Randy Wolling he needed to leave, but he did hear others do that, but could not give their names. Officer Goebel filled out a police report, that was also completed by another officer, he did not know. Officer Goebel never listed in his report  Mr. Wolling had his arms locked with others. He never listed in his report any municipal codes Randy broke the law for. He did not type his report or read it afterwards.

Randy Wolling took the stand. He told the people in the room he was called by his Lord to the Occupation. That it was Gods will for him to be there. That he follows Gods will and not man's law. When the deputy DA cross examined him she said "So you follow Gods law and Not man's law." Randy said "No I follow Gods will not mans law." The second time the public defender went to examine Randy, judge Woods continued to over rule everything he asked Randy. The same questions just posed by the deputy DA. It is extremely obvious judge Woods discriminates and does not abide by the oath she took under the constitution.

As I left the courtroom yesterday I was very frustrated. During Randy's testifying he said something that made me laugh. The bailiff came up to me and said, I was being disrespectful to the judge. I was so pissed. I am not sure if Randy should have took the stand, but that was his choice, not mine. I tried to get him bailed out of jail, but due to prior tickets that did not happen. Today court resumes at 9:30am and we should find out the verdict sometime today. I am not a believer, but for my friend Sage I hope his Lord is on his team and finds him innocent so he can leave the confines of a judicial system that stinks of corruption.

Let's Go Viral: Our Brother "Sage" Has Been Occupying A Cell For 28 Days: UpDated Write A Positive Thought

I met Sage my first week at Occupy San Diego. Sage is a middle aged man, with long grey hair nicely combed, reading glasses, hippie style and always carrying a notebook. What was in this notebook? It was a positive thoughts book. Sage would ask you to write a positive thought in his book and then would wish you well. His nick name says it all. A man humbly spreading peace and love to all, with intentions of integrity.

Sage has been occupying a jail cell, for the last 28 days in San Diego. I tried to get people to bail him out, but there were some charges that were prior to the raid arrest, that prohibited him from being bailed out. Today I went to the courthouse on Broadway in downtown San Diego. We entered room 35, to a policeman and a woman sitting behind a desk close to the judges.

The policeman asked me to take my hat off, turn off your cell phones, no eating, no tape recording, no photo's or video's "He told the observers" who just walked into the courtroom. Also he told us not to talk to the prisoner. Sage looked a little ragged and worn out. His attorney was a young peppy man that was glad to see people, from occupy San Diego attend the hearing.

We learned the assistant district attorney, asked that this case, should remain separate and not be tainted with other facts, from other occupy movements legal issues. This court case will be heard in front of a jury. Sage did not do, anything wrong. This is about police officers raiding our camp, without notice. I was not informed about a specific time to be out of the civic plaza ever, by any police officer. That is a law.

I was not asked when raided if I contacted a shelter and was denied a bed. EVER! That is a law, police are suppose to follow. My friend Sage is harmless. He needs and deserves the help of anyone who would like to bail him out and help him in anyway. I urge and implore you to think about this brother of the occupy movement and do what ever you can to help him. He really is a Sage!!!

UpDated: Please write a positive thought to our good brother Sage. He could use your support, hugs and love. He spread much around when hanging out with Occupy San Diego.
