Expressing Free Speech

Five are charged with felony damage of property for slashing the tires of GOP rented vehicles post election... Two of the five are sons of Wisconsin politicians.

MILWAUKEE — The sons of a first-term congresswoman and Milwaukee's former acting mayor were among five Democratic activists charged Monday with slashing the tires of vans rented by Republicans to drive voters and monitors to the polls on Election Day.

Sowande Omokunde, son of Rep. Gwen Moore (search), D-Wis., and Michael Pratt, the son of former Milwaukee acting mayor Marvin Pratt (search), were among those charged with criminal damage to property, a felony that carries a maximum punishment of 3 1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

What possible defense will they use, either they didn't do it (typical Democrats), or maybe the ACLU will help them with a free speech defense.
