Yippie Leader Abbie Hoffman Free on Appeal
Washington court rules Hoffman did not desecrate the flag by wearing a shirt resembling it. He was previously arrested in 1968 while testifying before a House committee, found guilty of flag desecration, and fined or jailed. The appeals court says he meant contempt of the committee, not the flag, and rejects defacement charges.
