Gun rights advocates rallied around Abby Newman amid tight security in a Franklin County courtroom today.
Newman stood up to a police checkpoint last September, saying her constitutional rights were violated.
But seven jurors agreed THAT wasn't the issue.
They found Newman guilty of driving without a license and obstructing justice... after one-and a- half hours of deliberation tonight.

Parry McCluer High School is back in the Friday Football Extra spotlight this morning. The Blues won five state titles under head coach Bob Williams.

And this season current head coach Ron Loy is looking to bring the Blues back to respectability. Last season the team was 2 and 2 in the Pioneer district, but just 3 and 7 overall. This year the numbers are up along with the expectations.

Unfortunately, all the hard work at the new high school won't make the Blues' new stadium and field happen soon enough. The field house still needs a few final touches to it, the light poles have yet to be erected, and the delivery of the sod for the playing surface was also delayed.
