Your neighbors on trial

Fourteen Philly residents — ranging in age from 24 to 72 and including several grandparents and two members of the clergy, public school teachers, and life-long Philadelphians — lined the entrance to the SugarHouse construction site on the Delaware River and refused to move. They were promptly arrested and held for more than 12 hours.

On Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2010, they go on trial.
