Seven of the 11 individuals were charged with an additional count of conspiracy against rights, which prohibits the violation of someone’s rights guaranteed to them by the U.S. Constitution.
The seven charged under the misdemeanor FACE Act charge and the felony charge of conspiracy against rights face a possible penalty if convicted of 11 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000.
Those charged are as follows: Chester Gallagher, 73, of Lebanon, Tennessee; Heather Idoni, 58, of Michigan; Calvin Zastrow, 57, of Michigan; Caroline Davis, 24, of Michigan (pleaded guilty in 2023); Coleman Boyd, 51, of Bolton, Mississippi; Dennis Green, 56, of Cumberland, Virginia; and Paul Vaughn, 55, of Centerville, Tennessee.
The following four individuals who were only charged under FACE for misdemeanor face one-year imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. They are: Eva Edl, 87, of Aiken South Carolina; Eva Zastro, 24, of Dover, Arkansas; James Zastro, 25, of Eldon, Missouri; and Paul Place, 24, of Centerville, Tennessee.
The six currently on trial, which began Tuesday, are those individuals charged under both the FACE Act and conspiracy against rights: Gallagher, Idoni, Zastrow, Boyd, Vaughn, and Green.
The Daily Wire reported that the court gallery has been “packed” each day with supporters for the pro-lifers and that the trial is expected to continue into next week.
