This piece focuses on the Veterans for Peace member, Larry Maxwell, who paid an extra fine for the 3 'peace convicts' and the statement acquitted defendant Jon Gold would have made in court if convicted. Background: July 12, 2010; 1 Dismissal, 3 Acquittals, and 3 Convictions meant one big victory for free speech outside the White House. The arrests were March 20, 2010, when US Park Police declared an emergency situation and revoked a protest 'permit' amid anti-war chanting of 8,000 people. There may be an appeal.
