YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCriminal charges will be dropped against most of the Gaza war protesters who took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University in April, occupying and barricading the building.
The update came at a hearing Thursday at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, seven weeks after Columbia administrators called in hundreds of armed and heavily armored police officers to the university's campus in a high-profile law-enforcement response that was broadcast live on national news channels.
Police had arrested 46 protesters who had barricaded themselves inside Hamilton Hall, and cleared a weeks-old tent encampment on a nearby Columbia lawn that has inspired similar protests at universities around the world.
Stephen Millan, a prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney's office, told the court on Thursday his office would not prosecute 30 protesters who were Columbia students at the time of the arrest, nor two who were Columbia employees, citing prosecutorial discretion and lack of evidence. A case against another student was dismissed earlier in the month.
FOX 5 New York's Robert Moses joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow with the details.
