Freeman Trial

Four of the six anti-government Freemen on trial following an 81-day standoff with the FBI were ejected from a Montana courtroom today after they cursed the judge and the prosecutor on the first day of their criminal proceedings. Earlier, the Freemen, who say that US courts have no jurisdiction over them, were forcibly dressed and dragged into the courtroom after refusing to change out of their jail-issue coveralls.
