State of Oregon v Brandon Farley
In August 2019, videographer Brandon Farley was attempting to gain access to an event hosted by local resource group Outside In at a nearby church. Due to prior interactions with Outside In, his ticket had been revoked and he was denied entry to the event. Based on trial testimony, he spent a large portion of the events duration attempting to bypass event security to trespass to the event, including an altercation with event security that was prosecuted as harassment.
During the pre-trial period, Mr. Farley went through several public defenders, including one that court records indicate severed himself from the case for a 'breakdown in attorney client relationship' after allegations of Mr. Farley making defamatory statements.
In August of 2021, Mr. Farley represented himself in a bench trial, where he was convicted of a criminal trespass but acquitted of the harassment charge. His sentence included bench probation with a requirement to seek mental health intake and possible treatment, a judgement that he subsequently expressed to us that he would refuse to comply with.
