Interesting legal shenanigans in the trial of the protesting nuns: <<< The sisters could not defend their actions using international law or the Nuremberg war crimes trials as a defense during their trial. At their trial, the prosecution offered many witnesses from F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. They testified that the nuns did nothing to interfere with national defense or the mission of the base and that neither the bloody crosses nor the pinging of their hammers damaged, contaminated or destroyed the cement or rails. Testimony on the value of property damaged could not meet the $1,000 required for felony destruction. Yet Judge Robert Blackburn denied defense motions for a directed verdict of acquittal. >>> commondreams.org
