Name the prosecutor who filed the charges.

Thank God that's over. Good Judge!
Having the charges dropped is not the same as being acquitted.
Be that as it may, I hope these people can muster the money to bring false arrest and malicious prosecution charges, and also go after those gay federal doj attourneys that masterminded the entire operation.
Why were local police taking direction from doj attorneys anyway?
Catholic Ping - please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
Ping!
I honestly believe this sort of thing will not hold in America, though it may in other countries.
this is really good news
Yet, unless those in the DA's office who did go bezerk here are relieved of their position it doesn't mean much except personally to those who were railraoded but now are off the hook.
Thank goodness someone had taped the incident!
Libertarian ping.To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here.Let's face it, that's exactly what these people were on their way to becomming. Nothing empowers Christians more with a sense of righteousness than to persecute them for following the teachings of Christ. Nothing like throwing a person in jail for following a man who taught of salvation and profound love. Giving them martyrs is like throwing gasoline on a fire.

*snicker*
poing
Thankfully the charges were dropped. That these men were arrested and charged in the first place is a very scary thing.
This is confusing IMO, we knew that charges had already been dropped against some of them. Anyone have any info which judge this is?
Nothing about it on Philadelphia DA's site... http://www.phila.gov/districtattorney/case/prelease.asp?id=125

Good to hear at least one Judge in that state in sane...
It just hit me that the title of this should read
Christians arrested for witnessing at homosexual event aquitted.
They weren't there protesting.
Finally a judge with a commitment to First Amendment freedoms for all.
