From left to right are Karen Weill, Caitlin Esworthy, Jeff Berryhill, and Wally Cuddeford, following the arraignment of the latter three in Pierce County Superior Court on March 6, 2007. The three had been attacked by riot police while peacefully demonstrating against George Bush's troop "surge" at the Port of Tacoma on March 4, and then ironically charged with felony assault. The charges were summarily dropped at the start of the arraignment.
