Your neighbors on trial for a casino-free Philly

by Casino-Free Philadelphia | 02.14.2010

Fourteen Philly residents — ranging in age from 24 to 72 and including several grandparents and two members of the clergy, public school teachers, and life-long Philadelphians — lined the entrance to the SugarHouse construction site on the Delaware River last fall and refused to move. They were promptly arrested and held for more than 12 hours.

On the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2010, these individuals will stand before a judge and defend their First Amendment rights.

UPDATE:
Judge tosses case against SugarHouse protesters
