HeadlineFeb 04, 2009

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 McKay, has said he fell victim to entrapment from an activist turned government informant named Brandon Darby. McKay says Darby came up with the idea for the firebombs and encouraged the activists to make them. McKay has been set free until a new trial begins next month.
