Coming up her attorney says she didn't
do anything wrong
a woman is facing charges tonight after
posting this anti-muslim brant recorded
on video the Muslims are nothing but
Devils Satan worshippers she's an
American who's exercising her First
Amendment right to free speech and
tonight we're now hearing from the
lawyer just heard a little bit there
who's now defending one of the women
seen in this anti-muslim video her name
Tony Gonzalez brought her three kids to
a Tempe mosque you can hear her in that
video calling Muslims devil worshippers
well Gonzalez and her friend are charged
with felony burglary and as you just
heard there her lawyers saying she
didn't do anything wrong
here's Maria hatch Innova advisor
clients of all of their constitutional
rights
shortly after Tony Gonzalez and
Elizabeth Dow in Hauer appeared in court
today
Marc Victor made it clear his client
Gonzalez didn't do anything illegal it's
our position that this was open to the
public and the things that she took were
available and intentionally put there
for the purpose of people taking them
and distributing them and that's exactly
what she was doing in this Facebook
video she can be seen walking past the
Tempe mosques no trespassing sign
Victor called her actions peaceful the
content of speech political or
non-political is protected by our First
Amendment so people have a right to
peacefully say whatever they want in
America that's the nature of the First
Amendment so long as it's not fraud
speech or speech that's intentionally
calculated to sort of start a fistfight
Tempe mosque leaders told me
that's ridiculous free speech has
nothing to do with this case it's
unbelievable that somebody would listen
to a tape like this is a peaceful
Maricopa County Attorney Bill montgomery
says he'll have an update next month if
there's enough evidence for this case to
be considered a hate crime actually in
Arizona we don't have a separate hate
crime statute but we do have a sentence
enhancement that allows us to seek
greater punishment if someone's conduct
does fit the definition of a hate crime
and in this particular case that
certainly is something that we are
looking at Maria had Genova for
Arizona's family
