Five Roman Catholics, arrested March 19 in connection with praying for an end to the Iraq War in the lobby of the Worcester federal building, were today found guilty of one petty offense and not guilty of another.
Magistrate Judge Timothy S. Hillman today found all five defendants guilty of failure “to comply with lawful direction of authorized individuals (U.S. Marhsals)” and fined them the minimum penalty of $250.
They were not found guilty of the other petty offense, obstructing the entrance and impeding performance of duties by government employees.
