 Three people charged during a 2020 protest in downtown Gainesville are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their appeal. A state court in Amarillo upheld the convictions of Justin Thompson, Tori Henderson, and Amara Ridge. The trio organized several marches in 2020 demanding the removal of a Confederate statue at the Cook County Courthouse. During one of those marches, they were charged with obstructing a highway and were later convicted. All three received a sentence of seven days in jail and fined $2,000.
