Woman Ordered To Change Anti-Bush T-Shirt Before Sentencing [View All]

CLEVELAND -- A woman convicted of assaulting Cleveland Heights police officers appeared in court for sentencing Friday morning, but the sentencing was delayed when the judge said she must change her clothes, NewsChannel5 reported.

Carolyn Fisher was arrested in February when she was hanging up anti-President George W. Bush posters. Officers said the woman attacked them when they ordered her to take down the posters.

Fisher was convicted of two count of felony assault against a police officer. She and her supporters showed up for her sentencing wearing anti-Bush T-shirts, but the judge deemed the attire inappropriate.

Judge Timothy McGinty said he had no problem with people protesting the war or the president, but that the courtroom was not the place to express those views.
