Trial over White House protest to start

The trial for activist Cindy Sheehan over her arrest earlier this year is scheduled to begin in D.C. Superior Court.

Sheehan was among eight anti-war protesters arrested March 20 after laying coffins at a White House fence. She was charged with crossing a police line.

Her bench trial is set to begin Monday morning. Judge Robert E. Morin will decide the case.

Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq in April 2004, staged a prolonged demonstration in 2005 outside then-President George W. Bush's ranch near Crawford, Texas.
