Information trouvée : The Chicago Seven, aka Chicago Eight were seven (originally eight) defendants charged
with conspiracy, inciting to riot, and other charges at the 1968 Democratic National
Convention, in Chicago, Illinois. The original eight protester/defendants, indicted
by the grand jury on March 20, 1969, were: Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger,
Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner, and Bobby Seale. On October 29,
the Judge Hoffman ordered defendant Bobby Seale bound and gagged, after Seale had
shouted repeated epithets at him. Then, on November 5, the judge ordered Seale severed
from the case. Hence, the "Chicago Seven".
