MADISON, Wis. (AP) — More than 40 protesters arrested by Capitol Police during a crackdown on a daily sing-along conducted without permits have pleaded not guilty, and 33 have requested jury trials. A Wisconsin State Journal report says police have issued 223 citations or recommended charges in the last two weeks against people participating in the noontime Solidarity Sing-along. Officers began arresting them last month after a federal judge ruled officers can require large groups to get a permit to gather in the building.
