Todd Swindell and David Pasquarelli, who were found guilty of misdemeanor charges of unlawful public assembly, rioting, and disturbing the peace, were sentenced to 120 days in jail by Superior Court Judge Thomas Mellon. Mellon sentenced ACT UP/SF member Michael Bellefountaine, who was convicted of unlawful public assembly, to 60 days in jail. All three men were fined $1,000 each.
Defense attorneys immediately appealed the sentences, thereby halting imposition of the jail time until further court review.
