Freeway Hall case stirs support Seattle attorney and Freedom Socialist Party member. Valerie Carlson, has been named as one of nine defendants in a lawsuit against the Freedom Socialist Party. She is charged with abuse of trust in the same case, declared the loser in this suit without ever reaching trial, found in contempt of court and sentenced to jail, and brought into court to demonstrate why her solo law practice should not be taken away. In 1986 King County Superior Court Judge Robert Dixon ordered Carlson and her co defendants in the Freeway Hall Case to turn over FSP minutes. Their refusal on First Amendment grounds prompted Judge Warren Chan to award the case by default to their oppo nent. Richard Snedigar. complete with a $42,139 judgment. Judge Dixon, however, ruled out receiver ship as a form of collection. He denied the motion on the basis that "other people’s rights are involved" and that receivership would "impair the ability of the defendants to fight" the lawsuit brought against them by Snedigar. A contempt ruling by Judge James Noe stemmed from Snedigar's first collection attempt, a financial probe of the assets of lead counsel Carlson, co-counsel Frederick Hyde and FSP national chair Clara Fraser. They refused to cooperate on constitutional grounds and were sentenced to jail until they agreed to testify. Judge Noe. however, stayed the sentences pending appeal. Twelve days later. Snedigar's attorneys served Carlson with a subpoena for the receiver ship hearing. Nevertheless, Noe refused to re consider the contempt charges and said that the move for receivership was out of his jurisdic tion. The battle over Carlson's law practice moved into Dixon's court. Before witnesses were called to testify. Judge Dixon denied the receivership motion. Judge Dixon’s ruling was hailed by case supporters as a momentous victory in a case that has seen few decisions on the side of the defendants. ‘ Although additional collection attempts may be made, and the question of the jail sentences is yet to be determined. Carlson and her co defendants and supporters hope that escalating public pressure and persuasive constitutional arguments may turn the tide for the embattled Freeway Hall Case defendants.
