Show Notes
Tyler McGrath, a protester from Falmouth, was acquitted of assaulting a Portland cop during a No Kings protest. The cop claimed an airhorn McGrath blew caused him hearing damage, but an audiologist test showed no changes. McGrath argued he was just adding to the protest noise. The district attorney respects the verdict and is reevaluating how to handle civil disobedience cases due to resource constraints. Protests in Portland are costly, with the latest event incurring over $5,000 in overtime. McGrath and his lawyer view the acquittal as a victory for free speech in Maine.
