Family Court Protest
|
|
Below are photos of a public protest to reform the Family Court system in Clark County, held all day on Friday, Oct. 21, 2005. Reported in the newspapers before the event and after. I visited at about 10am. This is a big page that might take a while to load. You can click on most of the photos for a larger image. |
The venue of the protest, at the corner of Pecos and Bonanza in Las Vegas in front of the Family Court Building, but mostly off the property. There were about 12 protesters in attendence. There was no police presence apart from two bailiffs standing about 100 yards away. (I suggested to other bailiffs that the scene would be much more interesting, for the sake of my photos, if they marched in with batons and teargas to disperse the crowd.) |
Here is the ringleader speaking to the press. Her website is Redressinc.org. |
This woman's son was convicted of killing his wife in spite of DNA evidence suggesting otherwise. (Someone else's DNA was found under the victim's fingernails. See News article.) She says that her son was also denied visitation with his children while he was out on bail prior to his conviction. |

The grievance of the man on the left is obvious. (I didn't inquire into the details.) The man on the right seemed to have no direct beef with the Family Court, only the court system in general. He says he has been fighting a court battle in Arizona for about 12 years, concerning a real estate matter. His website is Updoc.com. |
Note the protest: "Open all closed hearings to the public!" (Right now in Family Court, it is hard to find any closed hearings left to open.) |

Photographing the news photographers. The fellow on the left, working for City Life magazine, didn't want to be photographed, but I did it anyway. (Note the stylish stubble on the face. I told him he looked, "totally Afghanistan.") The photographer on the right, from the Review-Journal, was more accommodating. (The court entrance is in the background.) Below: Photographers at work. In the photo on the right, I believe she is taking the photo that actually appeared in the R-J. | |
