Sept 3, 2021 – “Ruby Montoya Seeks to Withdraw Guilty Plea, Citing Coercion, Entrapment and Mental Illness” Unicorn Riot / “In an affidavit to the court, Montoya’s counselor, Tucker Brown, who claims to have been himself associated with the Catholic Worker Movement for over 20 years, further seeks to cast blame for Montoya’s actions on other activists.  Brown states that leaders of the Des Moines Catholic Worker movement have “often lacked moral clarity” and “tended to coerce vulnerable persons into actions for which they were not psychologically prepared.”  According to Brown, activists sought to “lure impressionable and unstable persons into their cause” and deployed “increasingly erratic” tactics.” https://unicornriot.ninja/2021/ruby-montoya-seeks-to-withdraw-guilty-plea-citing-coercion-entrapment-and-mental-illness/
