Mistrial Declared in RNC Case
-----------------------------



And in Minneapolis, the trial of a young activist accused of making
Molotov cocktails during the Republican National Convention has ended in
a mistrial. The accused protester, David Guy Mc Kay, has said he fell
victim to entrapment from an activist turned government informant named
Brandon Darby. Mc Kay says Darby came up with the idea for the firebombs
and encouraged the activists to make them. Mc Kay has been set free
until a new trial begins next month.
