Trial starts for church that protests at soldiers' funerals
This is not breaking news, because the trial has been scheduled for quite some time. There have been previous threads at DU about it too. OK, it has started.

Trial starts for church that protests at soldiers' funerals

The Associated Press
8:20 AM EDT, October 22, 2007

A fundamentalist church that protests at soldiers' funerals faces its first lawsuit today from the family of a fallen serviceman.

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church face trial in Baltimore for an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit filed by the father of a fallen Marine from Westminster. Albert Snyder of York, Penn., says the church interrupted his grieving process at the funeral for his son, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, who was killed in Iraq last year. Church members say they were only exercising their free speech rights.
