The Chicago Seven, anti-Vietnam War activists who included counterculture icons like Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, faced a chaotic trial over charges of conspiracy and inciting riots during the 1968 Democratic Convention. While all seven were acquitted of conspiracy charges, five were convicted of crossing state lines to incite riots, though the verdicts were overturned in 1972 due to judicial bias and FBI misconduct.
