RNC Protester Accuses Informant of Entrapment
---------------------------------------------



In Minnesota, jury deliberations have begun in the case of a protester
accused of making Molotov cocktails during the Republican National
Convention. The case has attracted further scrutiny after it was
revealed a key government witness is Brandon Darby, a longtime activist
turned FBI informant. The accused protester, David Guy Mc Kay, says he
fell victim to entrapment. Mc Kay says Darby came up with the idea for
the firebombs and encouraged the activists to make them.
