POLL: Should the court have allowed Tom Gear to subpoena 11 people -- Hampton city officials and the City Council -- for his misdemeanor charge of trespassing?

Former state lawmaker Tom Gear filed subpoenas on 11 people to appear at his hearing next week on a charge of trespassing. "(Mayor) Molly Ward wants to play games," Gear said. "Let the games begin." Should the court have issued the subpoenas, considering there is a video recording to document what happened?

  • Yes, the subpoenas are valid. He has the right to call witnesses.
  • Yes, he should have been able to subpoena witnesses, but 11 seems excessive.
  • No. There is a video of the incident, so he doesn't need witnesses. He appears to be using this as a way to get back at city officials.
  • I don't know.
