No problem. If you're in contact with anyone else who's been charged or raided, make sure they know that the NLG is providing these services.

Hi, Chris-

I'm forwarding this to both the National Lawyer's Guild and another lawyer who's volunteered to arrange for legal representation as well, so you should be hearing back from someone soon.

CASE#: CR-11-00471-02-JF
Count 1: 18:1030(b) -Conspiracy to Commit Intentional Damage to a Protected Computer
Count 3: 18:1030(a)(5)(A), (c)(4)(A)(i)(I), (c)(4)(B),(i) & (2) -Intentional Damage to a Protected Computer, Aiding and Abetting

Hi my name is Christopher Cooper. I was contacted by the FBI back in February of 2011 due to my involvement in the Wiki-leaks/Anonymous DDOS attacks against PayPal, Mastercard, Visa and Amazon. I was never told that I was being charged nor arrested but I agreed to hand over one computer as well as another computer of mine for a HDD scan. I have yet to see my computer returned, although I did receive the other back after the HDD scan and was told to continue what I was doing so that they could return and collect more evidence on the Anonymous. I agreed to all of this and have the paperwork that I would send you if needed. As of yesterday, July 19th, 2011, I was arrested on the two counts above and processed by the FBI and then handed over to a US Marshall where I waited for my court case. I appeared in front of a judge, July 19th, 2011 and plead guilty to the charges so that a "article 20" (I believe they called it) could be put into effect so that I could have the case tried here in my home state and travel to San Jose, CA was not necessary. I also waved my right to an identity hearing so that I would not be detained that same day, which is why I am able to write you today. After talking with family and the court appointed attorney (who did nothing) I have decided to fight the case due to the lack of evidence that has been presented to me. I feel as though my efforts to stay out of trouble has now flipped on me and gotten me in more trouble that I ever wanted. I am to appear in court in San Jose, CA at 1:30PM, September 1st, 2011. I do not have the means of funds necessary to travel to San Jose, CA at this time. I am currently unemployed, but looking for a job and already on 3 years probation for the state of Alabama. (I can give more information on that as well, if needed) Please take your time in considering to represent my case.


Thank you,

Christopher Wayne Cooper
