St. Patrick's Four

Two days before the Bush/Cheney invasion of Iraq, four Catholic Workers from Ithaca, NY went to a military recruiter's station and engaged in a non-violent act of civil disobedience. They were charged with criminal mischief, and tried in the Tompkins County Courthouse. Nine of twelve jurors voted to acquit in April of 2004.

The federal government has since decided to charge the four with conspiracy. On Monday, September 19, 2005, they go on trial at the federal courthouse in Binghamton, NY.
