Casey's Mom at Bat for US. Wins!

“We reverse and remand for a new trial, however, because appellant was convicted of a crime that does not exist.”

With these words, the conviction of Cindy Sheehan was struck down by the US Court of Appeals. Cindy's son Casey was killed in the occupation of Iraq following the second US/Iraq War. She was arrested while petitioning the Government at the gates of the White House.
