Summarize this article for a 10 year old
United States v. Choi, 818 F. Supp. 2d 79 (D.D.C. 2011), was a federal criminal case in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. In November 2010, Choi and 12 other protesters chained themselves to the White House fence in protest of the military "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy, shouting "Let us serve." All 13 were arrested and charged federally. Choi rejected a plea bargain deal, and trial commenced on August 29, 2011, before United States Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola.[1][2][3] It was halted by the prosecution after three days to pursue a writ of mandamus prohibiting the defense of selective and vindictive prosecution.[4][5][6] After the writ was issued, Choi was convicted of a single misdemeanor charge on March 28, 2013, and fined $100.[7]
