	Chicago Seven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chicago Seven were seven (originally eight, at which point they were known as the Chicago Eight) defendants charged with conspiracy, inciting to riot, and other charges related to violent protests that took place in Chicago, Illinois on the occasion of the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
		The Chicago Eight then became the Chicago Seven, where the defendants, particularly Yippies Hoffman and Rubin, mocked courtroom decorum as the widely publicized trial itself became a focal point for a growing legion of protesters.
		In the end, on February 18, 1970, all seven defendants were found not guilty on the conspiracy charges, two (Froines and Weiner) were acquitted completely, and five were convicted of crossing state lines with the intent of inciting a riot.

	Skolnick - Chicago Seven
		Longtime Chicago-based court reformed Sherman Skolnick has recently re-released parts of his 1972 report alleging that the "Chicago Seven" involved in the 1968 riots at the Democratic Convention were used as agent provacateurs by the US establishment, which was desiring at the time to engineer a political escape from the Vietnam quagmire.
		Historically, it should be noted that the overthrow of the Russian Czar and the Russian Church establishment were delayed some 15 years by the premature activities of anti-czarist groups too weak to accomplish their goal, and duped and led on by Czarist agents posing as "revolutionaries".
		Some time after circulating in 1972 our story about the "Chicago 7", we found out that the apparently "planted" juror, Kay Richards, was a computer operator at a Chicago-area firm whose primary work, under contract, was for the American C.I.A. Her writing for the Chicago Sun-Times helped wreck the government's prosecution of the "7".
