At an Iowa City discussion on April 21, 1970, Jo Ann Mulert spoke as a Beaver 55 defendant awaiting trial. The Daily Iowan's April 23 report records her concern that the quietness of the antiwar movement would make convictions easier and that judges were tightening courtroom control after the Chicago conspiracy trial. This report concerns an appearance before trial; it does not establish a conviction, prison admission, or actual release.
