Iraq War Goes to Trial in Upstate New York (tags)

On March 17, 2003, four Catholic Workers from Ithaca NY walked into a local military recruiting station, poured blood on the walls, posters, flag, and carpet, knelt for prayer, and waited for the authorities. Surprisingly, in April 2004, the prosecution of the four war resistors in state court ended in a mistrial, with the jury deadlocked 9-3 in favor of acquittal. Four months later, however, the federal government jumped into the fray and issued subpoenas. With the trial to start this summer in Binghamton, NY, the "St. Patrick Four" face six years in prison (or more) if convicted. Provided is an audio link to an exclusive, in-studio interview with the four defendants.
