A federal judge found four defendants, Eva Edl, Eva Zastrow, James Zastrow, and Paul Place, guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act) for blocking access to a reproductive health care clinic in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, on March 5, 2021.
Evidence presented at the trial showed that the defendants physically obstructed the clinic’s employees and a patient for several hours, preventing access to reproductive health services. The defendants positioned themselves directly in front of the main clinic door, located on the second floor of a medical building, for over two hours. Despite multiple requests from the police to leave or move, the defendants remained in place, resulting in their arrest.
