More on Josh Wolf from Rick Knee
Josh Wolf, a freelance blogger and videographer, is in the federal jail in
Dublin, Calif., because he insists on upholding the First
Amendment. He was taken into custody Aug. 1 for refusing to let a federal
grand jury have unedited footage that he shot during an
anti-G-8 demonstration in San Francisco on July 8, 2005.
An appeal before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is pending.
Meantime, Josh's legal expenses continue to pile up, and he
needs help paying rent in order to keep his apartment.
