CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) -- A former sheriff received six months of probation, a $600 fine and community service after he was convicted of trying to enter Terri Schiavo's hospice to give her water.
Former Lee County Sheriff John J. McDougall, an outspoken Roman Catholic, was arrested March 19 outside the hospice -- the day after Schiavo's feeding tube was removed.
McDougall, 62, could have avoided court by paying a $250 fine. But he demanded a trial and was convicted of trespassing by a jury that deliberated for about 45 minutes.

"I didn't feel I was guilty of trespassing. I was trying to save someone's life," said McDougall, who was sheriff from 1988 to 2000.
