Art Poster Boy in Court Today to Appeal 11-Month Jail Sentence

Meanwhile he's also appealing the prison sentence, which he'd supposedly avoided following a plea bargain and 210 hours of community service, which he completed by scrubbing courtroom floors. The jail term was re-instated after he missed his court date in May, but his lawyer, civil rights attorney Ron Kuby, hired by the artists' legal defense fund K.A.R.A.T.E., (Kids Are Rallying Against The Empire), says he was never required to attend. What may come from this new case is unclear, but presumably Matyjewicz's recent book deal means he can afford to pay full price for an unlimited Metrocard, even when the price goes up to $500 a month.
