Former ASU student Tim Tizon filed an appeal after being convicted for trespassing while

handing out copies of the Constitution. “[T]he core idea here is pretty straightforward. If the First Amendment’s going to mean anything, it means that at the public spaces of a public university, a student should not be arrested for handing out copies of the constitution,” said Tizon's attorney. “What could be a more basic free speech principle than that?”
