Lemon, a former CNN anchor, has argued he was exercising his First Amendment rights as a journalist during the protest at a church in St. Paul, Minn.
The former CNN anchor was arrested by federal agents on Jan. 29 after covering a protest inside a Minnesota church.
"We didn't go into the church to do anything illegal. We didn't intend to do anything illegal, nor did we do anything illegal. That's why you don't hear any allegations of violence," said civil rights attorney and ordained minister Nekima Levy-Armstrong.
