When one of the two women accused of attacking a state senator stood mute in Dane County Circuit Court Tuesday, a not guilty plea was entered on her behalf.
Kerida O’Reilly and Samantha Hamer face a charge of party to a crime of substantial battery.
The women are accused of attacking Democratic State Senator Tim Carpenter last June.
Carpenter was taking a picture of protesters when he was assaulted, suffering injuries that required surgery.
Hamer has a court appearance scheduled for today (Wednesday) in the Madison courtroom.
