    • 1984 February 4, Christine Guilfoy, “TThree Seneca Women Get 89 Days in Jail”, in Gay Community News, volume 11, number 28, page 1:
      The women told the judge that they would not pay because they were indigent and also because it was a matter of conscience that they not pay. They requested that he sentence them instead. Cohen refused, saying that they had 30 days to think the matter over and if they wanted a resentencing they would have to make formal application within that time.
