after being sentenced back in march to 8 months and 5 months, respectively, for trespassing and destruction of property charges related to removing the tarps from the confederate statues, brian lambert and chris wayne were arraigned today for their appeals.
the arraignment was initially set for june, but neither man's lawyer showed up to court, seemingly to the surprise of one of them.
both men, now represented by a new attorney, entered not guilty pleas today. lambert's trial will be january 9th, wayne's is feb 20th. both men waived the right to a jury trial, which was probably smart. they aren't exactly the most charming individuals.
it's worth noting that while violent, angry racists usually have exactly zero court support, this pair did have a friend show up to support them today -- violent, angry racist joseph draego.

and wayne, if you're reading this: next time you try to intimidate me, maybe don't do it front of a reporter & a deputy, don't use incorrect information you got off white pages, and leave my parents out of it.
