<p>Did the judge recommend a sentence?</p>
<p> What was recommended?</p>
<p> Is it the next court date when the defense accepts or rejects the recommended sentence?</p>

<p>Thank you to those that came out yesterday. It was good to see such a strong turn out and I wanted to share this post with you. A member of the family posted this to the Chainlink FB thread, "<span>Overall, a positive day of justice for Hector. There was big turnout of advocates, friends and family. On behalf of Hector and family, a deep Thank You!"</span></p>

<p>Amazing turnout today that easily surpassed that of any previous court sessions for this case by several factors. Overheard an attorney for another case comment that they'd never seen that many people in that courtroom save for cases where police officers were victims or principals.</p>

<p>Lee, thanks for the nudge; Yasmeen, thank you for adding info to the event listing and including details in last week's newsletter.</p>

<p>Chainlinkers, please come out tomorrow morning if you're able. Your attendance could make a real difference in the case's final disposition.</p>

<p>Feel free to post any questions you might have. I am currently planning on riding tomorrow morning, but if carpool availability will allow someone from Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Bucktown, Wicker Park, Belmont-Cragin, E Garfield Park, West Town, Ukrainian Village, etc. to attend who otherwise couldn't, I'm happy to drive. Similarly, if anyone else who's cycling is concerned about not having a place to stow phones, bags, helmets, etc, I'd be happy to drive and make my car available for such. Just drop a line here or PM me if interested.</p> I second Lee's post - Much ap…tag:thechainlink.org,2015-08-06:2211490:Comment:9368612015-08-06T20:02:58.777ZYasmeenhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/YasmeenSchuller
<p>I second Lee's post - Much appreciated. I didn't have all of the helpful details. I plan to attend. I added your post as a link to the event. Thanks!</p>

<p>Thank you for posting this Andrew! Good plan to make this a new thread and give it a little more attention and many thanks for your efforts. Hopefully it will reach a few people that are free that day to attend this hearing. </p>
