MQT CO. Court House

Over 100 citizens gathered in downtown Marquette yesterday in support of clean water, the environment and activist Cynthia Pryor. Signs reading “Honk! for Lake Superior” and  “Keep it Fresh” were held by participants as well as “Hey Kennecott – No Trespassing!” The group walked from Washington Street to the court house on Baraga where they filled the front steps leading up to the main entrance.

At the pre-trial conference yesterday for Cynthia Pryor, County Prosecutor Dave Payant made an offer to accept a guilty plea and a delay of sentence, giving Pryor credit for her jail time and wiping her record clean. Pryor’s attorney Kevin Koch is reviewing that offer, however a jury trial is scheduled for Tuesday, June 15, 8:00 am in Courtroom 215 at the Marquette County Courthouse before Judge Roger Kangas.
