'Evidence presented at trial established that the defendants used force
and physical obstruction to execute a clinic blockade that was organized
by the groupâs leaders, Handy and Darnel. The defendants planned and
organized the clinic invasion using social media, text messages and
telephone calls, and several co-conspirators, including defendants
Hinshaw, Goodman, Geraghty, Marshall, Bell, Harlow, Idoni and Smith
traveled from northeast and midwestern states to participate in the
blockade. Prior to the clinic incursion, the defendants met with other
co-conspirators to plan their crime, which included making a fake
patient appointment to ensure the groupâs entry into the clinic, using
chains and locks to barricade the facility and passively resisting their
anticipated arrests to prolong the blockade. The clinic invasion was
advertised on social media as a âhistoricâ event that was live-streamed
on Facebook. The defendantsâ forced entry into the clinic at the outset
of the invasion resulted in injury to a clinic nurse. During the
blockade, one patient had to climb through a receptionist window to
access the clinic, while another laid in the hallway outside of the
clinic in physical distress, unable to gain access to the clinic.'
