MICHAEL AND EVELYN WARREN VINDICATED

Warrens Vindicated! All Charges Dismissed!
Weds. July 2, 2008: In a courtroom filled with supporters, as has been the case since the Warrens were initially assaulted, arrested, and brought to court a year ago, the District Attorney found inadequate basis for proceeding with the case against Tarif and Evelyn Warren. All charges were thus dropped.
Cheers, hugs, kisses, and even some tears of joy followed as the courtroom emptied into the street for a brief rally. Both Tarif and Evelyn thanked everyone for being so steadfast in their support and, particularly expressed deep gratitude and love for their lawyers -- Soffiyah Elijah, Susan Tipograph, and Roger Wareham. A battle was won, was the consensus, but the war goes on! All power to the people!

Tune in to "Where We Live" on WBAI 99.5 FM tomorrow night, that's Thursday, at 8 PM. Tarif Warren will be on the show with young activists involved in Cop Watch.
Come back to this website as there will be further updates and a statement from the Warrens.
Thank You for Visiting Our Site

We are two attorneys, who practice law in New York City. As attorneys, we have a general practice, but Tarif is known for handling high profile criminal cases, and cases of police brutality, including those of Michael Stewart, Yvonne Smallwood, and the five Black teenagers falsely convicted of raping the white bank executive "the Central Park Jogger." On Thursday, June 21, 2007 we became victims of police abuse in Brooklyn.
What Happened?

We were stopped at a traffic light in rush hour traffic, on our way to a legal meeting, when we saw members of the New York City Police Department apprehend, handcuff, and kick and stomp a young Black man. We asked the officers why they were doing this and ended up beaten and arrested, ourselves. Learn more.
