DENVER (AP) -- About half of those arrested just before and during the Democratic National Convention have pleaded guilty to misdemeanor offenses and have received sentences ranging from fines to suspended jail sentences.

Officials said 152 people were arrested Aug. 23-28 in Denver, including 91 taken into custody on Aug. 25 near a downtown city office building.

City Attorney David Fine said the sentences depended on the nature of the offense and the defendant's criminal history.

Brian Vicente of the People's Law Project, which is providing free legal counsel to some of the defendants, says 28 of those arrested Aug. 25 have requested trials. About 40 more are expected in court Oct. 2, when they could plead guilty or request a trial.
