UPDATE: Chrystul’s March 16 status hearing has been postponed because the Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to hear her case!
We’re still going to gather at the courthouse and have a solidarity rally instead. Please come out, get informed and build power behind Chrystul to get these unjust charges dropped!
WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THE CASE:
There’ll be a hearing at the District II Court of Appeals, in Waukesha. It hasn’t been scheduled yet, but we’re ready to pack that court room!
Judge Wilk’s decision to not apply Wisconsin’s “affirmative defense” law (statue 940.302) to Chrystul’s case might be overturned by the appeals court. An affirmative defense allows a person to be acquitted of criminal charges if they prove those charges are the result of being trafficked. This would give Chrystul a much better trial.
Chrystul is doing well, all things considered. She’s definitely feeling impatient in the county jail. Sending her a friendly letter is always a welcome way to brighten up her long days:

Signing and sharing the petition to DA Graveley is also impactful, as is donating to the legal support fundraiser. We’re exploring options for Chrystul and those funds will help make that happen! Find links to all those things at https://freechrystul.wordpress.com
