Four defendants and their supporters stand outside Courtroom 1A at the Dane County courthouse after initial appearances for charges stemming from arrests at the WI Capitol during September. Valerie Walasek (front row, pink sweater) traveled from Florida for her mandatory appearance, and her charges for accidentally dropping a balloon and resisting arrest on September 6 were dropped at the last minute. Two others who received state misdemeanor charges during the arrest of a disabled veteran on September 14 also had their charges dismissed. The remaining defendant, Ted Voth Jr., entered not guilty pleas for Disorderly Conduct and Obstructing Arrest for charges stemming from the same September incident.
