Former professor Ward Churchill has taken his battle over free speech and academic freedom to a Denver court, where a trial is under way questioning the University of Colorado’s grounds for his dismissal. After Churchill’s essay on 9-11 sparked national controversy, Colorado’s governor and the university’s president called for Churchill to be removed. Although he wasn't fired for his essay, Churchill was eventually terminated for academic misconduct. But he’s filed a civil lawsuit against the university, and now a jury of eight people will decide whether Churchill is guilty of academic misconduct or whether the university violated his right to free speech by using those allegations as an excuse to fire him. Blake Wesley reports from Denver.
