Trial of Worcester Catholics arrested for anti-war prayer

Five Roman Catholics, arrested March 19 in connection with praying for
an end to the Iraq War in the lobby of the Worcester (MA) federal
building, were today found guilty of one petty offense and not guilty
of another.

Magistrate Judge Timothy S. Hillman today found all five defendants
guilty of failure "to comply with lawful direction of authorized
individuals (U.S. Marhsals)" and fined them the minimum penalty of
$250.

They were not found guilty of the other petty offense, obstructing the
entrance and impeding performance of duties by government employees.
