美国军方退伍军人Jan Carey对在白宫附近焚烧国旗的联邦指控表示无罪, Army veteran Jan Carey pleads not guilty to federal charges for burning a flag near the White House in protest of Trump’s flag-burning order.

退伍军人简·凯里 （Jan Carey） 在白宫附近焚烧美国国旗以抗议特朗普总统关于焚烧国旗的行政命令后，对两项联邦轻罪表示不认罪——在未指定区域纵火并对公园资源造成损害。 Army veteran Jan Carey pleaded not guilty to two federal misdemeanors—igniting a fire in an undesignated area and causing damage to park resources—after burning an American flag near the White House in protest of President Trump's executive order on flag burning. 该命令指示司法部调查并起诉焚烧国旗的行为,如果它煽动迫在眉睫的不法行动或构成 " 战斗言词 " 。 The order directs the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute flag burning if it incites imminent lawless action or constitutes "fighting words." Carey的律师计划以宪法为由对该案提出质疑,并援引最高法院的先例,即焚烧国旗是受保护的政治言论。 Carey's lawyers plan to challenge the case on constitutional grounds, citing the Supreme Court's precedent that flag burning is protected political speech. 对他的审判定于11月进行,定于12月1日举行地位听证。 His trial is scheduled for November, with a status hearing set for December 1.
