The following comes from a July 18 email from Life Legal Defense Foundation.
Yesterday Judge William Orrick held David Daleiden, the Center for Medical Progress, and two of David’s criminal defense attorneys in civil contempt for violating a court order prohibiting the release of video footage related to National Abortion Federation (NAF) conferences and related meetings. The footage was posted to a private website in May.
Daleiden’s criminal defense attorneys argued that the videos are essential to providing David with a robust public defense after California Attorney General Xavier Becerra charged Daleiden and Sandra Merritt with 15 felony counts of eavesdropping. The first set of charges were dismissed by San Francisco Superior Court Judge Christopher Hite in the criminal case for lack of specificity. Becerra recently amended and refiled the charges, this time including the file names of certain videos. However, the charges still do not name the individuals involved in the conversations during which Planned Parenthood doctors and other abortionists discuss the sale of fetal body parts for profit.
Judge Orrick’s contempt order awards approximately $137,000 to the National Abortion Federation for attorney fees and for alleged staff time to scour the internet looking for links to the Daleiden videos.
On a positive note, Judge Hite was receptive to arguments that the amended charges against Sandra Merritt were not properly filed. We will update you as soon as we know whether these charges will be dismissed.
Look, there is no way in the radical-left California court system that David Daleiden is going to get a fair trial, and as expected, in revealing criminals at work killing children, CA AG Xavier Becerra, a one-time Catholic with 3 children whom he curiously did not abort, has totally gone over to the Death-ocratic Party and is now a proud pro-Death Catholic and vassal of Planned Parenthood.
The noose is tightening everywhere: witness Breitbart.com today revealing several Catholic websites have had their Facebook sites locked or closed down:

How long til Cal-Catholic is locked out>
Why are there no court filings resulting from the crimes revealed in the videos? What is going on here hardly seems fair. This appears to be a case of judicial and political abuse and bullying.
“The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.” (Prov 11:8)
“Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity” (Prov 22:8)
“The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all” (Psalm 34:19)
Peace.
How low have the people fallen. Kill babies. Do it so the organs can be sold – IF an older child is born alive sneakily break the child’s neck so the mother doesn’t see. I can hardly believe the evil things that are happening. We have become a nation of killers and we have a judicial system that reminds one of Hitler regimes. I wonder if all the people who died defending freedom for LIFE and liberty think when they look down at us. As a physician I am beyond appalled. When we look at the natural disasters coming again and again, one has to wonder if God is not appalled also.
Sadly, it seems our officials are corrupted totally by money.
David Daleiden is a Warrior, a Soldier in a battle for souls raging all around the world, and so also those who fight alongside him. Pray hourly, daily that all charges be dropped and all judgments reversed, Nothing is impossible with God. Nothing. Even darker times are ahead and persecutions will escalate but the bells of freedom will ring out loud and clear again. I believe.
They have had so much success with killing the unborn that they are starting at the other end with new euthanasia laws being passed, soon they will be killing all the undesirables in the middle as well.
We live today in the twilight zone, the outer limits. Where its ok for government to eavesdrop on you, even in your own bedroom with pc cameras where the light doesn’t go on when your being studied. This is why Zuckerberg tapes over his pc’s camera. He knows.
It’s not ok for you to do the same and report on wrongdoing.
There is nothing wrong with your television. It just seems to be upside down.
This is your “legal” system hard at work for you.
Hopefully there will be some type of fund drive started to support David. We need to support him and not leave him out to dry like what usually happens to those on the front lines of fights dealing with morality. I will gladly donate to his cause. He has been a protector of human rights and we should protect him. It is the very least we can do.
