Charges Dropped Against Anti-Israel Protesters at UNC-Chapel Hill

Once again, far left radicals get a walk instead of consequences.

Campus Reform reports:

Charges dismissed against six UNC-Chapel Hill anti-Israel demonstratorsSix pro-Palestine demonstrators who participated in the encampment erected at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill this spring each had their charges dismissed shortly before they were set to be tried.The district attorney said that, due to the volatility of the situation (including the moment of the arrests), there was insufficient evidence to bring some of the cases to trial, according to Chapelboro.“We realized that five of those six we simply didn’t have sufficient evidence to take them to trial,” said Orange County District Attorney Jeff Nieman. “That’s not necessarily because there sufficient facts to prove the crime [didn’t exist], but it boils down to: we either couldn’t ascertain who the charging officer was in those individual cases, or if we could determine who it was, we couldn’t locate them.“That might sound unusual, but this was an unusual case,” he added. “Thirty-nine cases, all arising from one or two days, lots of people being charged at the same time, there was a chaotic nature to it… and that’s nobody’s fault.”“There were a lot of people involved… a lot of law enforcement, a lot of suspects in the crimes being processed,” Nieman added. “That — combined with there were a lot of officers from outside agencies… outside the university, outside the county, outside the district — made for a confluence of circumstances that resulted in a few cases [where] we couldn’t quite figure out [which officers] did what to put up witnesses [on the stand] to make the cases.”More than two dozen cases remain active connected to demonstrations at UNC-Chapel Hill, including of protesters who accepted plea deals for their conduct. In total, 36 people were cited or arrested in connection to the protests, according to The News & Observer.
