Gay marriage protesters not guilty in Asheville
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Three people arrested on trespassing charges during civil disobedience for same-sex marriage rights in Asheville have been found not guilty.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Laura Blackley, Cindy Jordan and Craig White were found not guilty of second-degree trespassing on Wednesday.
The three were among eight people arrested after a sit-in May 11 at the Buncombe County Register of Deeds office. The sit-in came as same-sex couples repeatedly applied for marriage licenses and were rejected.
