While Flagstaff pushes back the case against Epona Rose, activists gather demanding her freedom.
Locals are calling on assault charges against Rose to be dropped, claiming she was defending herself from attackers.
A group of almost 50 people gathered inside of the Coconino County Courthouse in Flagstaff last Monday in support of Epona Rose, the woman who was arrested for allegedly defending herself against a group of people in Flagstaff this past summer.
The group of local queer activists, residents and community members marched through the city and called for Epona’s charges to be dropped, and later filled the inside of the courthouse lobby before getting news that Rose’s case was being pushed to a different date.
Rose, who identifies as a woman of trans experience, has been out on bail for almost three months since local police arrested her and charged her with attempted manslaughter, and multiple counts of assault. She was originally held on $100,000 bail, but that was eventually reduced to $10,000 and the attempted manslaughter charge was dropped.
