LIVE: UnchainedTV has LIVE team coverage from the courthouse in Sonoma County, California. Wayne Hsiung faces up to 2 years in prison for organizing what's called Open Rescues of suffering chickens and ducks inside animal factories. Hsiung, an attorney and former constitutional law professor, has defended himself against charges of trespass and conspiracy to trespass for mass open rescues involving many people rescuing dozens of chickens and ducks about 5 years ago. Prosecutors have been quoted as saying they want to "cut the head off the snake" of this movement. Jurors only got a glimpse of conditions inside these animal factories, certainly not the worst footage taken during the actions and during previous investigations. Defense witnesses described what they saw inside the factory farms, although the judge would not let them characterize it as cruelty. Our LIVE team coverage includes Direct Action Everywhere's Carla Cabral at the courthouse, with a slew of experts including defense attorney and former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Nathan Semmel. UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell, Michelle Celestino and Lindsey Baker join the panel. We invite anyone from any of the animal factories involved in this case and anyone from the animal agriculture industry on to comment.
