On September12, 2016, my mom, Shirley Teter was a bystander outside a rally for Trump in Asheville NC. She and many people there did not support Trump. The day after the rally one of the attendees was charged with assaulting my mother.
The incident made national news, widely reported. The news reports have also been a national controversy. The criminal charges against the man arrested for assaulting my mother were recently dismissed. On the heals of the dismissal, a federal lawsuit was filed against my mother. The lawsuit claims that my mother assaulted the man, maliciously prosecuted the man, and that she defamed him. My mother is 69 years old. She is disabled. She carried an oxygen tank and backpack on the day of the rally. She lives on SSI and resides in a senior facility.
Lawyers are representing her, but she and I need help paying expenses related to the lawsuit. I have established a defense fund escrow account for this purpose. Any money left over will be donated to a preferred charity. Please make your donation payable to The Shirley Teter Defense Fund.
