Jailed Blogger Could Spend a Year in Detention

A federal appeals court has refused to hear the case blogger and freelance journalist, Josh Wolf, who now could end up spending almost a year in prison for his refusal to turn over unedited video of a San Francisco protest he filmed over a year ago.
Wolf posted footage of the 2005 violent protest on his blog, which was picked up by local and national media. During the filmed incident , a police car was vandalized.
Though Wolf denies he filmed the actual attack on the police car, in September a federal judge ordered him to testify and turn over all of the footage, which he refused.
