Cindy Sheehan's trial went to the jury at 2:30 EST

[az chela]

The trial is about the arrest last year at the UN when her and 3 other women were arrested for trying to turn in 70,000 signatures to end the war.She was on the ground and cuffed and dragged over 15 ft by the New York police and they put her on trial.Wow, where are our rights???
How can they charge her after they hurt her and held her in jail all night??
What a great thing this homeland security is.
John Kerry's sister is the one who refused ro take the petitions and wouldnt talk to Cindy after she had agreed to meet with these people until she found out Cindy was with them and she turned off her cell phone and refused to see her.
Unbelievable!!!!!!!
Cindy and these other women are fighting for our freedons and this is what happens to them.
Peace now and let justice win

And Kerry's sister works for the UN? I didn't know that; do you have a link or more info? I think I barely knew he had a sister.

6. They were asked to leave after they were told earlier

that someone would come and get the papers and then told them to leave and they refused and the police were called and the women were sitting on the groud and the cops drug them to the police van and took them to jail and kept them all night.Now Cindy is telling me the lawyers think they will be found guilty

[Suich]

7. Uh-h-h...guilty of what? n/t

[az chela]

10. not leaving when they were told to.It was a public place.

Cindy just said that the fone could be 1000 and or a year in jail.

12. How's Cindy doing?

Trials are extremely draining...is she ok?

[az chela]

14. She is upset that she has to stay in new york at least til monday

cause she had an event to go to.This is like science fiction that they are doing this

15. The case might not have gone to the jury until this afternoon.

The prosecution knows exactly what they're doing...I think they're just screwing with her. They knew it would take the jury longer than a few hours so they waited until Friday afternoon to wrap it up, knowing full well that it would cost Ms. Sheehan a weekend and a tremendous amount of stress.

I was on jury duty once, and was amazed at all the bs that went on! It's nothing like on TV!

9. Never mind!

There's info on Google...Cindy Sheehan trial

[Suich]

11. Info is on Google. n/t

16. Please keep us posted

Tell Cindy I am thinking about her.

As much as I don't want her to be found guilty, a prison sentence will turn her into a martyr for those who don't yet realize what a truly awesome woman she is. I think the attention will be positive rather than negative.

But I am praying for a not guilty verdict.
