Summary
Jim McCafferty organized volunteer self-defense classes at Peaine Township Hall in July and August 2018. The July class introduced techniques for avoiding and releasing holds, and the organizer later reported attendance of 15 people. An August follow-up expanded the invitation to men and proposed a recurring class.
Evidence limits
