Citizen Journalist Targeted and Arrested



Reverend Lisa Landis, citizen journalist in Asheville, NC was targeted and arrested for covering a local story. The Occupy Asheville march was on November 2, 2011, in solidarity with Oakland, CA. Arrested three days after the event on November 5, 2012 and charged with three offenses, resisting public officers, disorderly conduct, and standing on the highway impeding traffic.  

After three court appearances despite her clear role as a citizen journalist, Lisa Landis was found guilty and sentenced to time served. Landis immediately indicated her intent to appeal the sentence, telling the judge, “I was targeted and forcefully arrested because I continue to speak about the corruption of District Attorney Ron Moore…I will not stop until Ron Moore is arrested.”

Rev Landis is the former Producer of GLoLady TV at URTV, Western North Carolina Community Media Center in Asheville, NC. The Buncombe County Commissioners denied the funding needed to keep public access available to the local community. One of the reasons for the denial of funds is to continue the cover up of corruption in the local government. Co-Producer of “What’s Really Going On In Western North Carolina” that focused on this corruption was also exposed by Forbes. Local media has limited coverage of this travesty and doubtful they will cover the trial on June 4, 2012 at the Buncombe County Court House room 5 at 10am. With Ron Moore as the prosecuting District Attorney how can Rev Landis get an honest trial with someone who Targeted her?
Please help call International Attention to this cause. The logic that convicted her would convict any journalist documenting the scene of virtually any demonstration. If DA Ron Moore does have the alleged connection with the Mexican drug Cartel the why is he still in office? Why will the independent audit of the evidence room not be released? This is one story that is ready to blow sky high.

This was another attempt by local Government to deny my Free Speech. Wasting tax payers money on trumped up charges Should Be A Crime!!!

Local media has some coverage:

Well here it is 5-22-14 any the information regarding Ron Moore has been taken down.

On June 7, 2012 A jury of 12 took 10 minutes to find me Not Guilty of Impeding traffic. It was also admitted on the stand there was No Evidence to support the disorderly conduct and resisting a police officer charges that were dropped prior to the first court hearing. What a deliberate waste of taxpayers money for False Imprisonment. Who targeted me and is willing to face the consequences of the law?

I am waiting for the Police Department's Investigation.
