NOT THE SHARPEST KNIVES IN THE DRAWER: Arrested Development
A six-member jury found four people who attempted a citizen's arrest of former White House adviser Karl Rove during an Republican fundraiser on July 25th guilty of trespassing at the Wakonda County Club in Des Moines, IA, reports The Associated Press:
[R]etired Methodist minister Chet Guinn, two members of the social welfare group Des Moines Catholic Worker Community, Edward Bloomer and Mona Shaw, and former group member Kirk Brown … accused Rove of felony murder, election fraud, conspiracy to commit offense or defraud the United States leading to the war in Iraq, as well as treason, sedition and subversive activities.
Brown and Shaw tried to pull this stunt once before when Rove spoke at the University of Iowa. The defendants were each ordered to pay a $65 fine and court costs, but Brown was jailed for a day when he refused to pay. Shaw told AP that their attorney will file a motion to set aside the verdict.
