On Friday September 23rd, After two days of deliberations, a jury rendered guilty verdicts for both misdemeanor counts against all ten students in the Irvine 11 trial in what is now the latest blow to our civil liberties and freedoms in America. The students were charged and put on trial for disturbing a speech by an Israeli Ambassador. The longest interruption lasted 8 seconds and all 10 interruptions combined totaled no more than 1 minute. Yet, the prosecution claimed that the American students infringed on the foreign politician's free speech rights, despite a long and cherished tradition in America of such protests.
