St. Paddy's Day 7 Go On Trial
August 22, 2007 5:05 PM
In our news reports of 8.22 and 8.23 we incorrectly identified Tony Abdo as a defendant in the city's case against the "St. Paddy's Day 7," Mr. Abdo marched in the parade but is not a defendant in the case. We regret the error and apologize.
The seven peace activists arrested in Colorado Springs' St. Patrick's Day parade last March go on trial Thursday morning.
The seven were arrested after the organizer of the privately-sponsored parade, John O'Donnell, asked police to remove them. He said some of those marching under the permit of The Bookman bookstore were carrying signs that violated a signed agreement between himself and The Bookman that parade entries would not espouse social messages.
