Faith in Practice

MAYFIELD, Ky. — The American Civil Liberties Union will defend a group of Amish men in Kentucky charged with not displaying slow-moving vehicle emblems on their horse-drawn buggies.

The trial scheduled in Graves County has been delayed to September to give ACLU attorney William Sharp of Louisville time to prepare.

Sharp will defend seven Amish men who were charged with not displaying state-mandated flashing lights and an orange triangular symbol. The men contend using the emblems and lights would violate their religious beliefs.
