Yesterday, 20 Occupy Asheville activists faced charges related to civil disobedience actions last year. After a judge refused to dismiss the charges on constitutional grounds, 17 plead guilty. Another three contested the charges, but were found guilty. All were given no further penalty besides time they’d already served. (photo by Bill Rhodes)
