And so it came to pass... The forecast in a posting below, Journalist facing jail over video of protest, came true and young Josh Wolf was marched off to the slammer from a San Francisco court. The judge told him that there is no federal law shielding journalists from participating in grand jury investigations. He agreed with prosecutors who want Wolf to hand over his video footage of a violent anti-G8 demonstration, which he refuses to do. The judge said he wasn't jailing Wolf to punish him but to change his mind. Wolf could remain in jail until next summer, when the grand jury investigating the incident is due to expire.
