In looking at the photos from yesterday and talking with people, I want to clarify that Jerry did not actually enter the restricted area yesterday of that particular tree before his arrest. He had been chained to another tree near Benihana's. He came to the second tree near Michael's after the workers left the first tree and started hacking the second tree. He was near its fenced area as we all were, and actually was being interviewed and filmed by KCAL-9 (and 2) and the next thing I knew, he was arrested and being lead away. Leading up to the arrest and after the arrest, Jerry was insistent and adamant that the trees needed to be saved but very polite with everyone. His dignity throughout yesterday's events and today in court were inspiring.
