The Season For Treason
Theresa Cao: National Call to Action
On March 15, 2011, Theresa Cao, who shouted “Except Obama! Except Obama!” from the U.S. Capitol Gallery during the reading of the U.S. Constitution, had a pre-trial hearing at the Superior Court on Indiana Ave. NW in Washington, DC. Ms. Cao had considered dismissing her public defender, Ms. April L. Downs, but had a conversation with her at the hearing in which Ms. Downs reportedly agreed to represent Ms. Cao on the basis of her “constitutional rights.”
Ms. Cao reported that no supporters from the community attended yesterday’s hearing.
Prior to yesterday’s court date, Ms. Cao had received an offer from a government prosecutor for a plea deal. Originally it was understood that the plea would be “not guilty,” but today Ms. Cao stated that it would have actually been a plea of “guilty” and would include probation. There was a second offer called an “FTO” which Cao reported would include a urinalysis.
“I would have to sign a paper indicating my criminal responsibility…if I signed a form, I would be implicating myself in criminal activity,” Cao said. She has decided not to accept either offer.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
