War protester 'peace mom' Cindy Sheehan convicted of trespassing

NEW YORK (AP) -- Peace activist Cindy Sheehan and three other women were convicted Monday of trespassing for trying to delivery an anti-Iraq war petition to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.

Sheehan and about 100 other members of a group called Global Exchange were rebuffed last March while bringing a petition with some 72,000 signatures to officials in their Manhattan headquartersn across the street from the United Nations.

Prosecutors said they were arrested after ignoring police orders to disperse.

The women were acquitted of other charges related to the case.
