CASE NO. 97-1197-CIV-ORL-19B
MEREDITH T. RANEY, JR. ,
Plaintiff,
vs.
AWARE WOMAN CENTER FOR
CHOICE, INC. , a Florida Corporation,
EDWARD W. WINDLE, JR. , and
PATRICIA B. WINDLE.
Defendants.
PRETRIAL STATEMENT
The Plaintiff, Meredith T. Raney, Jr., by and through his undersigned attorney, files this Pretrial Statement, which states as follows:
Federal Jurisdiction
The basis for federal jurisdiction is enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act of 1994 {'FACE"), 18 U.S.C. § 248.
Statement of the Nature of the Action
Plaintiff Meredith T. Raney, Jr., brings this suit against Defendants Aware Woman Center For Choice, Inc. ("Aware Woman Center") , Edward W. Windle, Jr., and Patricia B. Windle for violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act of 1994 ("FACE"), 18 U.S.C. § 248.
Statement of the Case
Plaintiff asserts that he was unlawfully interfered with, threatened, and physically prevented from providing reproductive health services at a facility performing such services by the Melbourne City Police, who were allegedly acting as Defendants' agents. On three separate occasions, Plaintiff contends that his rights under FACE were so violated. Thus he has brought the present action seeking statutory damages of $5,000. for each count, together with punitive damages, attorney's fees and costs and expenses.
The Defendants have claimed that Plaintiff was not lawfully in the facility. At first, the Defendants admitted responsibility for the actions of the Melbourne City Police; however, more recently the Windles have tried to distance themselves from this admission.
In addition, the Defendants have filed a Counterclaim, requesting that an injunction be entered against Meredith T. Raney, Jr. to prevent the filing of any more lawsuits of this nature. Defendants have expressed the fear that many more such actions will be brought; Plaintiff has responded that sincere apologies from the Defendants would be a better preventative.
Defendants are suing their insurance company in a third party action. This pretrial statement does not involve the details of that claim.

2. In Florida, a husband and wife who own and control a corporation are also liable with said corporation for any civil rights violations which it commits.
3. A police officer becomes the agent of a company when enforcing a private injunction for that company, which injunction is designed to protect or promote the business of that company.
Statement of Facts to be Litigated
1. Whether the Plaintiff was on the public right of way inside the "buffer zone" on the three different occasions when he was physically obstructed.
2. Whether the Plaintiff intended to offer reproductive health services, such as counseling or referral concerning pregnancy or the termination thereof, while in the "buffer zone".
3. Whether the Melbourne City Police were enforcing the private injunction of the Defendants when obstructing the Plaintiff in the "buffer zone".
Motions or Other Matters Requiring Action
1. Defendants' insurance company and the Defendants have various Motions pending which do not directly affect the trial.
2. Defendants have pending an untimely motion concerning discovery. Also, Defendants are requesting approval of their Interlocutory Appeal. Defendants are requesting an injunction against Mr. Raney.

COURT'S INSTRUCTIONS TO THE JURY
Members of the Jury:
I will now explain to you the rules of law that you must follow and apply in deciding this case. When I have finished you will go to the jury room and begin your discussions - what we call your deliberations.
PLAINTIFF'S PROPOSED JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 1
CONSIDERATION OF THE EVIDENCE
DUTY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
(Corporate Party Involved)
In deciding the case you must follow and apply all of the law as I explain it to you, whether you agree with that law or not; and you must not let your decision be influenced in any way by sympathy, or by prejudice, for or against anyone. A corporation and all other persons stand equal before the law and must be dealt with as equals in a court of justice.
When a corporation is involved, of course, it may act only through people as its agents; and, in general, a corporation is responsible under the law for any of the acts and statements of its agents which are made within the scope of their duties as agents of the company.
In your deliberations you should consider only the evidencethat is, the testimony of the witnesses and the exhibits I have admitted in the record - but as you consider the evidence, both direct and circumstantial, you may make deductions and reach conclusions which reason and common sense lead you to make. "Direct evidence" is the testimony of one who asserts actual knowledge of a fact, such as an eye witness. "Circumstantial evidence" is proof of a chain of facts and circumstances tending to prove, or disprove, an ultimate conclusion.
Remember that anything the lawyers say is not evidence in the case. It is your own recollection and interpretation of the evidence that controls.

PLAINTIFF'S PROPOSED JIJRY INSTRUCTION NO. 2
CREDIBILITY OF WITNESSES
Now, in saying that you must consider all of the evidence, do not mean that you must accept all of the evidence as true or accurate. You should decide whether you believe what each witness had to say, and how important that testimony was. In making that decision you may believe or disbelieve any witness, in whole or in part. Also, the number if witnesses testifying concerning any particular dispute is not controlling. You may decide that the dispute is more believable than the testimony of a larger number of witnesses to the contrary.
In deciding whether you believe or do not believe any witness I suggest that you ask yourself a few questions: Did the person impress you as one who was telling the truth? Did the witness have any particular reason not to tell the truth? Did the witness have a personal interest in the outcome of the case? Did the witness seem to have a good memory? Did the witness have the opportunity and ability to observe accurately the things he or she testified about? Did the witness appear to understand the questions clearly and answer them directly? Did the witness's testimony differ from other testimony or other evidence?

PLAINTIFF'S PROPOSED JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 3
IMPEACHMENT OF WITNESS
You should also ask yourself whether there was evidence tending to prove that the witness testified falsely concerning some important fact; or, whether there was evidence that at some other time the witness said or did something, or failed to say or do something, which was different from the testimony he or she gave before you during the trial.
You should keep in mind, of course, that a simple mistake by a witness does not necessarily mean that the witness was not telling the truth as he or she remembers it, because people naturally tend to forget some things or remember other things inaccurately. Of course, if a witness has made a misstatement, you need to consider whether that misstatement was simply an innocent lapse of memory or an intentional falsehood; and the significance of that may depend on whether it has to do with an important fact or with only an unimportant detail.

PLAINTIFF'S PROPOSED JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 4
BURDEN OF PROOF
In this case each party asserting a claim or a defense has the responsibility to prove every essential part of their contention by a "preponderance of the evidence." This is sometimes called the "burden of proof" or the "burden of persuasion."
A "preponderance of the evidence" simply means an amount of evidence which is enough to persuade you that a claim or contention is more likely true than not true.
Where more than one claim is involved, and when more than one defense is asserted, you should consider each claim and each defense separately; but in deciding whether any fact has been proved by a preponderance of the evidence, you may consider the testimony of all of the witnesses, regardless of who may have called them, and all of the exhibits received in evidence, regardless of who may have produced them.
If the proof fails to establish any essential part of a claim or contention by a preponderance of the evidence you should find against the party making that claim or contention.

PLAINTIFF'S PROPOSED JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 5
INTRODUCTION TO PLAINTIFF'S CLAIMS AGAINST DEFENDANTS
Specifically, Mr. Raney has brought a claim for three counts or incidences cf violations of his rights against Aware Woman Center For Choice, Inc., Edward W. Windle, Jr. and Patricia Windle. The claim against these Defendants, which I will define for you in a moment, are for violating a federal statute called FACE which protects people providing reproductive health services on three different occasions. You must consider each occasion or count separately and render a separate verdict as to each count or occasion. All of the Defendants deny this claim. It is your responsibility to decide whether Meredith T. Raney, Jr. has proven his claims against the Defendants by a preponderance of the evidence.
Accepted ___ Rejected ___ Modified ___
Source: Federal Jury Practice and Instructions (West) (1997 Pocket Part) §104.1
PLAINTIFF'S PRQPOSED JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 6
ELEMENTS OF PLAINTIFF'S CLAIMS
The law in this case is called FACE. It protects people from physical obstruction, such as removal from places where they want to provide reproductive health services. These services include counseling or referral assistance on matters involving pregnancy and the termination of pregnancy.
Obviously, abortion is another term for termination of pregnancy.
You have heard much about the "buffer zone" at 1564 Dixie Way, over in Melbourne, Florida and you have been shown a diagram of that location. The first thing you must decide is whether Mr. Raney had entered the "buffer zone" and was standing on the public right of way.
You will need to make this decision for each of the three Counts or incidents. Just take them one at a time starting with the incident of January 28, 1995.
Was Mr. Raney inside the 'buffer zone" on the public right of way on that date? If you decide that he was, go on to the next issue.
Was Mr. Raney's purpose for being there to offer counseling help or referral information to women - or for that matter, men too - about pregnancy or the termination of pregnancy? If you decide that he had that intent, then go on to the final issue.
Was Mr. Raney physically obstructed, threatened or intimidated there by a Melbourne City policeman whose excuse was that the policeman was enforcing the Defendants' private injunction? If the policeman charged Mr. Raney with "contempt of court" instead of some violation of a city law or state statute, that would prove to you that the excuse for obstructing Mr. Raney was, in fact, the enforcement of this private injunction. If you answer "yes" to this and to the previous questions, you have found that Mr. Raney's rights under FACE were violated by the Defendants in that particular incident, namely Count I.
Simply follow the same procedure on the other two Counts or incidents. Present in the "buffer zone" on the public right of way? Intending to provide counseling or referral information about pregnancy or abortion? Removal by the Melbourne City police while enforcing the Defendants' private injunction? Decide these issues separately for each of the three occasions.
If you answer yes to each of these questions, then the Plaintiff's rights were violated by the Defendants in each particular incident.
However, if you answer "no" to any of these questions, then the Defendants did not violate Mr. Raney's rights under FACE for the particular incident that you are discussing.
A final word about what we are calling the Defendants' private injunction. This is a court order which the Defendants obtained to protect their business from certain people and activities.
If you find that the Melbourne City police officers charged Mr. Raney with "contempt of court" in any of these incidents that finding means that your answer to the third question should be that the policeman was in fact the agent or tool of the Defendants and was obstructing Mr. Raney's efforts to provide reproductive health services.

DUTY TO DELIBERATE
Any verdict you reach in the jury room must be unanimous. In other words, to return a verdict you must all agree. Your deliberations will be secret; you will never have to explain your verdict to anyone.
It is your duty as jurors to discuss the case with one another in an effort to reach agreement if you can do so. Each of you must decide the case for yourself, but only after full consideration of the evidence with the other members of the jury.
While you are discussing the case do not hesitate to reexamine your own opinion and change your mind if you become convinced that you are wrong. But do not give up your honest beliefs solely because the others think differently or merely to get the case over with.
Remember, that in a very real way you are judges - judges of the facts. Your only interest is to seek the truth from the evidence in the case.
