Three people arrested on trespassing charges during civil disobedience for same-sex marriage rights in Asheville, N.C., have been found not guilty.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Laura Blackley, Cindy Jordan and Craig White were found not guilty of second-degree trespassing this week.
The three were among eight people arrested after a sit-in May 11 at the Buncombe County Register of Deeds office. The sit-in came as same-sex couples repeatedly applied for marriage licenses and were rejected.
Jordan and Blackley were legally married in California.
White is a friend of the couple who was there to support same-sex couples.
The protest came days after North Carolina voters approved a constitutional amendment that marriage is between one man and one woman.
The other five arrested during the protest were awaiting court dates.
