brief: Chris Drew, on Dec 2, 2009 was arrested as he challenged the Peddler’s Licence with probono Attorney Mark Weinberg. as civil rights defense. But..Peddling charges were dropped and replaced with a more serious Class One Felony under the Illinois Eavesdropping Law, for audio recording his own arrest. Then, probono Attorney Josh Kutnick defended Chris and WON vs The Avarez. Witness “how it happened” but think about how many more were unjustly held and even in prison, due to no representation.
