``The jury's decision follows widespread criticism against the city for choosing to prosecute the case. Olson had called San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldsmith's decision "heavy-handed," adding that he hoped he reviews the "First Amendment of the Constitution and remembers that free speech is protected; just because you don't like what it says, doesn't mean you can't do it." Olson had also raised questions about the role Darrell Freeman, vice president of corporate security for Bank of America, may have played in getting the city to take up the case. The San Diego Reader reported last week that Freeman had repeatedly asked the city attorney's office to prosecute Olson, though Goldsmith has denied being directly involved in launching the case.''
