Antiwar Demonstrators Choose One Day in Jail
From Times Wire Services
Numerous antiwar protesters arrested in Santa Rosa agreed to a day in jail after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge of civil disobedience.
Some of those pleading Monday chose 10 hours of community service instead of jail. Protesters had snarled traffic in Santa Rosa on March 20, the day after allied forces began bombing in Iraq. Fifty people were arrested when they refused to leave a sit-in at a downtown intersection.
