Short News - New York: Matthew Jones has asked the Court of Appeals to overturn a disorderly conduct conviction he received as a result of standing around talking to friends in Times Square at 2 am on the 12th of June, 2004.
Police asked Jones to move because people "had to walk around him". Jones refused and was arrested. His lawyer claimed that the arrest was without legal justification, saying that you would need to be verbally abusive or blocking a lot of people.
The prosecutor stood by the arrest, saying that the behaviour was noticeable "amid the inevitable hustle and bustle of Times Square." Chief Judge Judith Kaye questioned how busy Times Square is at 2 am. The court may rule as early as next month.
