St. Patrick's Parade Arrestees Arraigned

The seven people arrested at the St. Patrick's Day parade in Colorado Springs appeared in court for the first time Tuesday and chose to plead their cases before a jury.
Charged with failure to disperse when arrested, the city attorney is now charging them with "obstructing passage or assembly" instead. The arrestees have said their actions did not obstruct the parade. They believe the city violated their free speech rights and used excessive force in removing them from the parade. Their trials are scheduled to begin May 7.
