His court date comes up this Friday at the Cohalan Court Complex, 400 Carlton Avenue in Central Islip. Supporters are gathering in the parking lot, at the flag pole, at 1:15 with John. There we will have the chance to express our sentiments and
support and perhaps distribute some literature. After that, we will go in to the courtroom to witness the proceedings.
