Patrick Shields was found guilty of resist­ing arrest this morn­ing at his trial at Keene Dis­trict Court. Judge Burke, announc­ing his judge­ment told Shields that, while he did do a good job rep­re­sent­ing him­self in court, he was still found guilty of the charge resist­ing arrest. Burke also changed the pros­e­cu­tors rec­om­mended sen­tence of a $250 fine to a $1,000 fine, but sus­pended it for a year.

The trial started at 10:15 this morn­ing, and ended at 11:00. Shields tes­ti­fied that, after talk­ing to a reporter in the City Hall sec­ond floor lobby, he did not leave because police were already block­ing the door; his only option was to do noth­ing, and drop to the floor. The pros­e­cu­tion main­tained that by doing noth­ing, Shields resisted arrest — the only charge he was tried for.

This much seems cer­tain about the Cash for Clunk­ers pro­gram: Con­sumers are happy to take gov­ern­ment rebates to buy new cars.

The fate of the $1 bil­lion trade-in pro­gram was up in the air late Thurs­day over con­cerns that it may have already burned through its funds less than a week after it was launched.

Con­gres­sional sources said ear­lier in the day that the pro­gram would be suspended.

The trials for Nick Ryder and David Krouse have been uploaded to youtube. Ryder’s trial ended with judge Burke announc­ing that a ver­dict would be mailed to him. David Krouse was found guilty, and sen­tenced to 6 days in prison, begin­ning next week.

The court audi­ence was not ter­ri­bly coop­er­a­tive with the judge — mak­ing noises when he pre­vented the defen­dants from giv­ing their argu­ments, or accept­ing a tes­ti­mony when the pros­e­cu­tor lied.
