Olivia Taylor Not Guilty — Olivia Taylor, the Upper Darby grandmother who spent a year of persecution for daring to point out that numerous Upper Darby council members owed tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes, has been found not guilty by Judge Dominic F. Pileggi.
Olivia was charged with “disrupting meetings and processions”, a state law from 1972, after speaking at the Jan. 17, 2024 Upper Darby Council meeting.
The law was meant to protect churches and funerals. It’s a third degree misdemeanor.
A bench trial was Monday, Jan. 27.
District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer’s office presented its evidence which was basically video from a cop cam showing her arrest.
Her lawyer presented her evidence which was a more complete video that included what she said at her meeting, along with documents showing the council members tax delinquencies.
She said that her lawyer, Scott Sigman, told her yesterday, Jan. 30, that Pileggi called him and said that he was finding her not guilty.
She says she is planning a civil rights lawsuit against Upper Darby and yeah, her rights were violated.
Olivia says is also planning to run for Upper Darby Council.
She has our full endorsement.
Sue EVERY one of those rotten b******s. This is the way.
