Has Maine Set a Precedent on Anti-War Protests?

In late April, six peace activists stood victorious in front of Maine's Penobscot County Superior Court.

A jury had acquitted them on criminal trespass charges for failing to obey a police request that they end their sit-in protest at the closing of U.S. Sen. Susan Collins' office in the Margaret Chase Smith Federal Building.

It should be noted that six other protestors also had been arrested, but pleaded no contest, paid fines and were released.
