Sheehan, Other Activists Convicted Over Protest
From Times Wire Reports
Iraq war protester Cindy Sheehan and 26 other activists were found guilty of protesting without a permit near the White House.
They were each ordered to pay $75 in fines and court costs, but Sheehan’s lawyer said he planned to appeal the verdict.
“We weren’t demonstrating,” Sheehan said. The defendants contended that they were trying to deliver petitions to the White House calling for an end to the war in Iraq, but found no one willing to accept them.
