She's bald!

The owner of a wine and beer bar who openly flouted Gov. Tim Walz's executive orders to shut down last winter during the COVID-19 pandemic was found guilty of six criminal misdemeanor counts Thursday by a Freeborn County jury.
A jury of three women and three men took only an hour of deliberation to convict Lisa Hanson, the 57-year-old bar owner, after a three-day trial punctuated by Hanson's repeated attempts to argue that Walz's orders were unconstitutional.
Judge Joseph Bueltel followed the reading of the verdict with a scathing denunciation of Hanson's behavior, explaining why the governor's orders were legal. "You wanted to make money over the interest of public safety," he said. "You don't recognize the law. You don't think you're subject to the law."
He then sentenced her to 90 days in jail, which began immediately, and a $1,000 fine, considerably more than what Albert Lea City Attorney Kelly Dawn Martinez, who prosecuted the case, had sought.
Asked to comment on the verdict, Hanson raised her fist and shouted, "Liberty and freedom!" as she was led away by sheriff's deputies.
After a warrant was issued for her arrest, Hanson went into hiding. She was arrested several weeks later in Iowa, where she was staying at a motel.
Her restaurant has been closed since February and the city of Albert Lea decided earlier this year not to renew its lease, which will expire at year's end. In the meantime, she was fined $9,000 in a case brought by Attorney General Keith Ellison and fined another $18,000 in November in connection with the case.
In her closing argument, Hanson said she had a duty to challenge "the abusive exercise of government authority" and "the overreach of an overzealous government."

Not one person on the jury willing to nullify. Sad, very sad.

Which duly enacted law did she violate?
Minnesota is lost. Thug Judges try to bully the jury by telling them they “must” vote guilty because defendant didn’t follow the “law” (in this case, and Executive Order). Most jurors get scared and afraid to follow their conscience. I would not guilty because nobody was forced to go to the establishment...it was open for free-minded adult individuals who could choose to frequent the business, or not.
If you are tried for violating an unconstitutional law it means you’re going to be found guilty and you’re going to have to bring it to higher courts to argue the constitutionality of it. That’s irritating but that’s just the way our system works.

90 days in jail.
Day 91,Albert Lea and pfascist Minnesota would be in a rear view mirror..
There’s free states that slaves can flee too..
She's bald!
Not much testosterone left after all those “vaccine” shots.
Don't understand: She was charged in MN, but arrested in OH.
Isn't that a different jurisdiction?
If crossing state lines was good enough for Bonnie and Clyde...
Regards,
Extradition is a thing in the modern age, whereas it wasn’t normal or routine back for Bonnie & Clyde.
Give me freedom or give me death. What is wrong with these tyrants?
All they needed was one juror who would stand up for a no brainer jury nullification.
This is deeply disturbing on many levels.
Would this woman have been extradited if she had fled to Florida?!
Regards,
6 what?
Oh, I see. Six counts.
