ADF seeks to appeal conviction of NY Christian arrested while praying

N.Y. court exonerated three other Christians wrongly convicted
of ‘disorderly conduct’ at 2007 ‘gay pride’ event

ALBANY, N.Y. — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys have submitted an application to appeal the state’s conviction of a Christian arrested while praying in an Elmira public park during a 2007 ‘gay pride’ event.  The status of the appeal is now in the hands of state’s highest court, the New York Court of Appeals.  Earlier this month, a New York county court dismissed the convictions of three other Christians arrested and charged after praying at the same event.

Case Name:  People of the State of New York v. Raven
