Jeff Olson, the 40-year-old man who is being prosecuted for scrawling
anti-megabank messages on sidewalks in water-soluble chalk last year
now faces a 13-year jail sentence. A judge has barred his attorney from
mentioning freedom of speech during trial.
According to the San Diego Reader, which reported on Tuesday that a
judge had opted to prevent Olson’s attorney from "mentioning the First
Amendment, free speech, free expression, public forum, expressive
conduct, or political speech during the trial,” Olson must now stand
trial for on 13 counts of vandalism.
In addition to possibly spending years in jail, Olson will also be
held liable for fines of up to $13,000 over the anti-big-bank slogans
that were left using washable children's chalk on a sidewalk outside of
three San Diego, California branches of Bank of America, the massive
conglomerate that received $45 billion in interest-free loans from the
US government in 2008-2009 in a bid to keep it solvent after bad bets
went south.
