Four Puerto Ricans including Mrs Lolita Lebron and Rafael Miranda were jailed after a gunfire attack on U S lawmakers. They defend their actions as political demonstration for Puerto Rico freedom and linked to Washington and the American Revolution. Lebron, 34, described as articulate in English, said they came to America to gain attention and criticize Puerto Rico's status. Miranda remained quiet for long stretches, insisting his focus was on his country and freedom and declaring he is not sorry.
