Biography

Lianne Moccia, from Revere, Massachusetts, was twenty-one at the Camden 28 indictment, a part-time senior at Fordham University who had worked with the Christian Appalachian Project and the Bronx Resistance Book Store. Later accounts describe her as one of the drivers supporting the Camden operation rather than one of the people inside the draft-board office. She was severed from the main trial and her charges were dismissed after the May 1973 acquittals.
