[LPM1888]

The police ordered the Christians to move where they would not disrupt this 'illustrious, gay-la' event. The Christians stood up to 500 angry sodomites and the shouted warnings of police officers. Now, some of these Christians face up to 47 years in prison! IN AMERICA! FOR PREACHING!

I'll reserve my final opinion on this story until I've seen more facts but for now it appears that these people ignored a valid police order and now they want to to whine about being arrested. Everything beyond that seems to be spin in order to create sympathy for their defense.

Unless I see more evidence that changes my current opinion, the defendants wouldn't want me on their jury.

My point exactly. Pack a jury with like-minded souls, allow them to further enflame one another's emotions in a locked jury room, and 47 years suddenly looks like a real possibility. Such juries love to send a message to the rest of society and loudly and as vigorously as they can send it. Forty seven years might not be long enough for such a jury. They might want blood.
