This month marks one year since the Republican National Convention came to St Paul, Minnesota where John McCain was crowned as the party’s Presidential candidate. More than 800 protestors were arrested during the 2008 RNC in a week-long crack down by city, county and federal law enforcement agencies.

The most famous of those arrested weren’t even at the protests; the so called RNC 8, are back in court this Wednesday. FSRN´s Andrew Stelzer has the story.
