Monday April 13th - Sentencing
U.S. District Court House - 333 Constitution Avenue Washington D.C. - 8am to 5pm
- We will arrive at the court house at 8am and will have a prayer on the court house lawn at 8:10am.
- PLEASE WEAR YOUR DRESS BLUES/GREENS, or SUPPORT GEAR or RED AND BLACK (Dress Blues/Greens preferred if you have them).
- Although the sentencing doesn't start until 10am; there will be a lot of media and people from the Department of (in)Justice in attendance, so we will want to arrive early to ensure we get seats in the courtroom.
- We've requested overflow seating via closed circuit TV in the court house, but we have no guarantees that will happen.
- If we have a situation where we can't all be seated in the courtroom, we will ask supporters (besides immediate family) to periodically switch out and allow someone else to sit in. Ultimately, our goal is to show our support and packing the courtroom with friendly faces is paramount.
- We will be inviting media - if you are approached by media, please be honest about your feelings but keep it classy, folks :)
- The court house has a cafeteria and there will be a lunch break and recesses for breaks.
Tuesday April 14th - Possible Continuation of Sentencing
U.S. District Court House - 333 Constitution Ave - times TBD
- It's possible that the sentencing may flow over into Tuesday - if you are planning on leaving Monday evening to save on hotels, do not worry and keep your original plan unless you want to stay
