Finally, after years of unified resistance by the brothers and the building
of massive support, California State prosecutors were forced to admit that
they have insufficient evidence against the San Francisco 8.

Charges against four of the defendants were dropped and Jalil Muntaqim pled
no contest to conspiracy to commit voluntary manslaughter. He received
credit for time served (close to 2 1/2 years in County Jail) and 3 years
probation. He will return to New York to fight for parole.

The courtroom at 850 Bryant Street was packed with SF 8 supporters after a
rally of hundreds and a huge "Free SF 8" banner was displayed on the
hillside of Bernal Heights to be seen from all over the city.

"This is finally the disposition of a case that should never have been
brought in the first place," announced attorney Soffiyah Elijah.

Francisco Torres still faces a court hearing on August 10th.
