Rev. Al Sharpton was convicted in New York yesterday of disorderly conduct during a May protest against a fatal police shooting.

Sean Bell was tragically, violently, unnecessarily gunned down by
police on his wedding day. The cops who killed him were found innocent.
And, in response, more than 250 protesters gathered, blocking bridges,
tunnels and intersections.

Sharpton and several others were arrested at the time. Most of the
cases were dismissed, however Sharpton and his co-defendants insisted
on a trial.

Criminal Court Judge Larry Stephen delivered the verdict Wednesday, and
Sharpton, along with seven others have been sentenced to time served.

Sharpton's already served 5 1/2 hours in jail. Earlier in the trail he
testified that the protests were peaceful, intending to stop violence,
not start it.
