All Charges Dropped for 18 Pro-lifers Arrested in Maryland

BEL AIR, MD -- All charges have been dropped against the eighteen pro-lifers who were unjustly arrested on August 1, 2008, during the Maryland Face the Truth Tour. Harford County's State Attorney Joe Cassilly dismissed the charges earlier this week against eight adults and ten teenagers, who had been arrested without warning during a peaceful public pro-life testimony in Bel Air, Maryland, during the last stop on a tour sponsored by Defend Life. "This decision by the State of Maryland to drop the charges shows that our side of the story was the true story," said Defend Life Director Jack Ames, who was among those arrested. "There were no traffic jams. There were no people running in and out of traffic. There was no refusal to disperse. They plainly and simply violated our First Amendment rights!" Legal options are being explored.
