"Nearly two years after she was arrested, former Moms for Liberty member, Randy Fine staffer, former Palm Bay City Council candidate, and conservative activist Janice Crisp has been found not guilty by a Brevard County Judge on a charge of Disruption of an Education Institution. She was also arrested for Trespass Upon Grounds of School Facility after Warning, but that charge was dropped by the prosecutor.
In the order, Judge Katie Jacobus stated 'the State of Florida failed to prove beyond to the exclusion of a reasonable doubt that the Defendant, Janice Crisp, did knowingly disrupt or interfere with the lawful administration of any educational institutional, school board, or activity on school board property contrary to F.S. 877.131(a).'
It is not clear from court records on what prosecutors failed to prove in their case against Crisp, but the judge was not convinced. The video shows Crisp obstructing the entrance to the School District with her body, and ignoring commands by Brevard County Sheriff Deputies to move. She accused Sheriff Wayne Ivey of weaponizing his deputies against “patriots” fighting against mask mandates."

Nearly two years after she was arrested, former Moms for Liberty member, Randy Fine staffer, former Palm Bay City Council candidate, and conservative activist Janice Crisp has been found not guilty by...I was there that day. Crisp was loud, belligerent, screaming, and verbally abusive to just about everyone. She couldn’t have been more disrespectful to the deputies that were going out of their way to treat her respectfully. So much for conservatives and their “Back the Blue” rhetoric.
There is video of it!
"Banning my book takes away a message of hope to the wrongfully convicted prisoners still behind bars," Dillon said. "Florida made a mockery of justice in my case, and took away nearly three decades of my life. I want the world to know what they did to me, so it will be harder for them to do it to anyone else. All prisoners should know what they are up against."

Instead of banning William Dillon's book, the DOC should just do a better job protecting the inmates from being sexually assaulted. Just a thought.
"Brevard County Judge Kathryn Jacobus on Tuesday found Crisp not guilty, writing in a court order that prosecutors "failed to prove beyond and to the exclusion of a reasonable doubt" that Crisp knowingly disrupted or interfered with the "lawful administration" of the meeting."
"At trial, the State presented a video recording that clearly depicts Ms. Crisp’s admitted intentional disruption of and interference with a Brevard School Board meeting," Archer said in a statement sent through a spokesman.
Video of the incident showed Crisp arguing at the doors with deputies and then with School Board Chair Misty Belford for about 10 minutes, railing against the 'illegal' mask mandate and repeatedly referring to deputies as "the Gestapo."
Crisp, who ran for Palm Bay City Council in 2020, has made headlines before for controversial protest activities, including burning masks outside the School Board building and picketing the Satellite Beach home of School Board member Jennifer Jenkins."

Former Palm Bay Council candidate Janice Crisp acquitted after deputies said she tried to enter a School Board meeting without a mask in 2021.There will be plenty more opportunities for her to be charged with infractions. She is a walking prosecution.
"Because the case has taken so long to get to trial, Gerald Perrin missed out on his chance to sue the defendant for wrongful death. In Florida the statute of limitations for a wrongful death suit is only two years. He's also hoping to sue the establishment that he says over served the man accused of running down his brother."
