Ohio judge upholds part of funeral picketing law
U S District Judge Donald Nugent in Cleveland preserves most of a 2006 Ohio law restricting funeral protests within 300 feet of cemeteries, funeral homes, churches or synagogues, one hour before or after services. He blocks the floating 300 foot protest buffer, ruling it too broad. The ruling supports mourners right to grief while allowing alternatives for protesters. The decision follows statewide limits on funeral picketing adopted by at least 27 states.
