Justice for Jason Vassell
Hearing on Motion to Dismiss
Wednesday, June 24, 2:00 p.m.
Northampton County Courthouse
A black UMass student who defended himself against a racial attack is now being prosecuted for assault charges in the wounding of his attackers, and could face 30 years.
Jason's case, as well as his and his family's well-being, is helped immeasurably by a big presence of supporters in and outside the courthouse. Join us! Come at 1:45 if you want to get in to the hearing.
