TAMPA -- Protestors arrested during a Black Lives Matter March on Dale Mabry Highway last year were back in court Tuesday.

A rally was also held in support of 22-year-old Jamie Bullock, who is set to go to trial next month.

Bullock and several co-defendants were back in court to fight against a motion by prosecutors that would limit evidence that can be used in their defense, including the claim of police brutality.

"I think there are people that are like that could've been me," she says. "There are also people that have been arrested and had their charges dropped, and they don't see any issues with their charges and mine."

Andrew Warren, the state attorney of the 13th Judicial Circuit, says Bullock's case is not so simple. 

She's charged with battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest without violence. 

According to her attorneys, the charges contradict each other. 

Bullock continues to claim her innocence.

“The local Marxist party may have a problem with this case, but I’m confident most people in our community agree that if you put your hands on an officer, you should be held accountable," said State Attorney Chief Communications Officer Grayson Kamm.

After the arrest, Bullock dropped out of school and says she was diagnosed with PTSD stemming from the events of the 2020 march.

The legal dispute has gone on for more than a year because Bullock has declined any plea deals.

"I think it would make all the time that I've had to spend in the courthouse, time that I've spent trying to prove my innocence that would make it worth it to me," said Bullock.

Tuesday, Bullock was offered another plea deal which she declined.

Prosecutors offered to drop the Battery of Law Enforcement charge, while the Resisting Arrest without Violence charge would be reduced to a misdemeanor.

She would face no jail time. Trial is set to begin on October 6.
