Judge Julius Hoffman at the bench while prosecution witness Louis Salzberg testifies, in a courtroom illustration (by Franklin McMahon) during the trial of the Chicago Eight, Chicago, Illinois, late 1969 or early 1970. The Eight, or Seven as they were known after Bobby Seale was severed from the case, were indicted for conspiracy and inciting a riot during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. Seale was sentenced to four years imprisonment for contempt, John Froines and Lee Weiner were acquitted on all charges, and the remaining five (Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, and Rennie Davis) were convicted of inciting to riot, but the convictions were overturned on appeal.
