Billy Spade admits to spitting on Phelps-Roper's sign, though she claimed he spit on her chest. The jury, ruling in less than an hour, said Spade committed no crime, considering the highly-charged events of the day.

1. Oh good,
the Phelps clan loses one. Hope it cost them some bucks. I suspect they make some of their money being awarded court costs in their legal battles.

2. That is how they survive.
Their church is mostly one extended family, so they don't get many donations through the church, like other churches. Litigation is their main source of income.
