Attorney General James S. Erwin said a review of films and tapes from the anti war demonstration outside the Republican State Convention shows violations of the law occurred. He and State Police Chief Col. Parker Hennessey will pursue those involved in desecration of U.S. and Maine flags and destruction of state property.
