Banned From Council

The StickerGang has finished its task of notifying the Borough they mean business. On June 27th, the StickerGang was shackled and cuffed only to be paraded through Nazareth enroute to Judge Capobianco for arraignment. This was just the beginning of the crime soon to be dubbed "StickerGate" by the media. 

StickerGate kicked off in full effect with each defendant receiving unsecured bail. On July 18th, they visited Northampton County Court of Common Pleas for a bail modification hearing. Disgusted by the doings of the Nazareth Police Department, Judge Emil Giordano lifted the sanctions against the trio. 

The fun was just beginning. Awaiting their preliminary hearing, the trio braved their critics and carried on with their daily schedules of full-time employment and daily excercises. August couldn't come quick enough for the trio. It's been a journey for the trio, having to read the comments and being defenseless against them. Nevertheless it didn't stop them from making StickerGate a well publicized media hog.

When the trio finally faced Judge Jaquline Taschner, the real work began. After nearly 5 hours inside the courtroom the case and charges were dismissed. The trio was free. The media lit up their papers and online feeds with the now famous "suck it up cupcake" quote from Judge Taschner. It didn't stop there.

The media has been publishing the trios journey and beating up on the local police department who received a covenant "turkey" from the express times and Chief Trachta even made it to an episode of Jeopardy in the Morning Call. Now the real trial starts. Silenced by their legal team, the StickerGang is banned from attending future council meetings until further notice.

This should come to a relief for Borough Council as the outspoken ringleader will no longer be a pain to them. So what now? We sit and wait. All three men have notified Nazareth Borough of their intent, now we can only sit and see where this journey goes.
