This just in from Las Vegas, Nevada: In a 20-page written decision, Judge William Jansen found fourteen people guilty of trespass as charged, ruling that their defense did not meet the legal requirement of immanence for acquittal based on necessity.

The Creech 14 were arrested during an April 2009 demonstration at Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs, Nevada, protesting the remote piloting of armed killer drones from Creech in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

All were sentenced to time served.

The Creech 14 are Fr. John Dear; Dennis DuVall; Renee Espeland; Judy Homanich; Kathy Kelly; Fr. Steve Kelly; Mariah Klusmire; Brad Lyttle; Libby Pappalardo; Sr. Megan Rice; Brian Terrell; Eve Tetaz; Fr. Louie Vitale; and Fr. Jerry Zawada.
