PURSUANT TO A TELEPHONE DISCUSSION WITH REGINALD DUNN, HEAD OF THE
CRIMINAL DIVISION OF THE L.A. CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, I WAS
INFORMED THAT THE PROSECUTION BELIEVES IT HAS INSUFFICIENT
EVIDENCE TO CONTINUE THE PROSECUTION OF TOM TCIMPIDIS, SYSOP OF
MOG-UR. THIS DETERMINATION WAS MADE AFTER I REQUESTED A REVIEW OF
THE CASE ON 1/11/85 AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF CITY ATTORNEY IRA
REINER TO BECOME D.A., AND WHILE THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS
BEING RUN BY THE CIVIL SERVICE STAFF PENDING ELECTION OF A NEW
CITY ATTORNEY. MR. DUNN HAS GIVEN ME HIS WORD THAT THE PEOPLE
WILL SEEK DISMISSAL OF THE CHARGES AGAINST TOM UNDER CALIF. PENAL
CODE SECTION 1385, I.E., DISMISSAL IN THE INTERESTS OF JUSTICE.
UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, SUCH A DISMISSAL IS "WITH PREJUDICE" AND THE
PEOPLE CANNOT REFILE THE CASE SUBSEQUENTLY. TO PUT IT SUCCINCTLY,
A DISMISSAL WILL TERMINATE THE PROSECUTION PERMANENTLY. AS THE
SIG MEMBERS KNOW, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS PREVIOUSLY
RENEGED ON REPRESENTATIONS MADE TO ME REGARDING DISMISSAL OF THE
CHARGES....I WISH TO ASSURE EVERYONE THAT I HAVE KNOWN MR. DUNN
FOR 10 YEARS, AND I TRUST HIS WORD COMPLETELY. IF HE SAYS THE
CASE WILL BE DISMISSED, I AM SATISFIED THAT SUCH AN ACTION WILL
OCCUR. WE WIN. WIN....WIN....WIN....WIN....WIN....MY THANKS
TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO SUPPORTING TOM AND I IN THE DEFENSE
OF THIS MATTER. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A MAJOR VICTORY FOR THE
RIGHTS OF FREE SPEECH OVER THE "BIG BROTHER" MACHINATIONS OF THE
PHONE COMPANY. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD DOWNLOAD THIS
MESSAGE AND PLACE IT ON OTHER SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY.....THIS IS A VERY BIG VICTORY, AND THE BBS AND MODEM
COMMUNITIES SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. AGAIN, THANKS FOR THE
SUPPORT. BEST WISHES TO ALL,
CHUCK LINDNER ATTORNEY FOR SYSOP TOM TCIMPIDIS
HOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. AGAIN, THANKS FOR THE
SUPPORT. BEST WISHES TO ALL,
CHUCK LINDNER ATTORNEY FOR
