Jury Deliberating...The first and only federal conspiracy trial arising out of civil resistance to the Iraq War is ongoing in Binghamton, NY.
No verdict has been returned yet in the trial of The St. Patrick's Four. The jury will resume deliberations at 9:30 AM, Monday morning, September 26th.
Representing peace activists all over are four Catholic anti-war activists who have already stood trial for their stand against the invasion of Iraq. Now, more than two years later, cleared of the original charge of criminal mischief, they are being charged with conspiracy and are being tried again.
THE CRIME: On March 17, 2003, Dan, Clare, Peter, and Teresa entered a military recruiting center in Lansing, New York, and poured a half cup of their own blood around the vestibule. No one was prevented from entering or leaving the recruiting center as they then knelt and read an impassioned statement against the Iraq War.
