Excerpt:
Four Christian missionaries accused of inciting a crowd while videotaping themselves evangelizing Muslims at the Dearborn Arab International Festival in June are to stand trial Monday after a judge denied a motion to dismiss the charges against them.
Judge Mark Somers of 19th District Court in Dearborn denied the motion earlier this week and stated in a written opinion that he did not believe the motion had legal foundation or support.
The judge heard arguments Aug. 31 questioning the constitutionality of the charges and asked for more information from the prosecution and defense before he made his decision.
