No resolution of Occupy Asheville lawyer's court case
Foster had hoped to present motions Monday

ASHEVILLE — An attorney charged with contempt for allegedly cursing at a magistrate over Occupy Asheville arrests will have to wait a little longer to have her day in court.

Jennifer Foster had hoped Monday to present motions to dismiss the charge before Superior Court Judge James Downs, but the judge delayed hearing the motions.
At one point during the proceedings, Downs told Foster, “There are other fish to fry besides you.”

In her motions to dismiss the contempt charge, Foster, who was jailed for two days after the incident with the magistrate, contends she was illegally arrested and confined and that there is insufficient evidence for contempt, among other points.

Foster said if the judge denies her motion to dismiss, she plans to ask for a jury trial.

Foster, 41, went to the Buncombe County Magistrate’s Office the night of Nov. 5 to check on outstanding warrants for Occupy members being sought in connection with a downtown march three days before.

'Occupiers' defy simple descriptions
By Rick Hampson, USA TODAY

They've been called "mobs" by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and a "wooly headed horde" by Rich Lowry, editor of the conservative National Review. President Obama's former White House adviser Van Jones says they're "middle America rising up." Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich says they need a bath.

Whatever you call them and however you characterize them, the tens of thousands of members of the Occupy movement, which has spread to more than 100 U.S. cities, are as hard to categorize as the movement itself.

For Jen Foster, Occupy Asheville's lawyer, it's the imbalance in wealth: "The majority of the people are controlled, abused and exploited by the upper 1%."
