Julian Heicklen routinely distributes FIJA literature in front of
courts. It seems a zealous DA in Manhattan is trying to make the case
that distributing such literature is "jury tampering."

Has Julian Heicklen Been Arrested Yet?

When libertarian rights activist Julian Heicklen was served a summons
for jury tampering the officers at his door told him that if he didn't
appear at the January 24 hearing he would be arrested.
"In my letter of January 17, 2011," Heicklen recently told his
supporters, "I notified the court that I would not appear. I expect to
be arrested and confined next week. Probably the court will not allow
bail, though it is irrelevant. I do not post bail."
Heicklen wants to use his trial for jury tampering as a forum to
publicize the right of jury nullification as expounded by the Fully
Informed Jury Association.
But Heicklen knows that he doesn't have a chance without publicity.
"If I am left alone, I will be eaten alive," Heicklen warns. "I will
have no chance of winning this case, regardless of the merits."
Because of that Heicklen has appealed to all freedom loving people
everywhere.
"This case can only be won by you, in the court of public opinion. If
you win it there, the court decision will be irrelevant. The price of
justice is eternal publicity. Your job is to swamp the court and media
with letters, e-mails, tweets, and phone calls."
"This trial could be the defining trial of the decade," Heicklen has
said. "We must not blow it."
Many have already come to his aid.
Although Heicklen intends to represent himself as counsel pro se he has
formed a 17-member "advisory circle," eight of whom are attorneys.
