"Hate Crime" charges against four Christian men, facing a total of 47 years in prison, were dropped after the judge viewed the tape of the incident.

If you look at the end of the article --------

After viewing a videotape of the incident at the December 14 hearing, Municipal Court Judge William Austin Meehan dropped charges against six other defendants, including a 72-year-old grandmother. A juvenile defendant awaits separate court action.

Including the juvenile there are 5 people who still have charges pending.

This was posted by one of the accused yesterday....he has not posted any update on his site......the writer of the article contradicted herself. Compare the first and last paragraph. I sent an email to the author and it was returned as "user unknown", I've sent the same email to all the contacts for Christian Post and haven't received a reply. CWA certainly would have updated their site by now if the charges had been dropped....you can check post #49 in the other thread and see that nothing is listed regarding this matter for the court schedule.


U.S. attorneys complicit in arrest of Christians?

We (the Philadelphia 4) had to show up in court on Wednesday jan. 5 to find out when our court date was scheduled for. I, and another of our group had to drive all the way from VA. Once we got there, the court tells us they haven'y set the date yet and we will have to come back next week. Philly is just jerking us around at this point. On Jan. 12, we will find out when the trial will be.

I'm keeping the latest updates posted on our site at:

everyone says they were dropped except they still have the misdermeanors. According to the philly paper they will appear in court next wednesday.
did I read that right.

Also, what judge dismissed the hate crime charges? It does not say. If it was Meehan, then he did a quick 180, since he was the one who said that the words from the bible were fighting words.

so can anyone tell us who the Judge was?
