Judge Denies Motion to Dismiss Felony Charges against UC Davis Protesters Despite Restorative Justice Offer
A judge denied a defense motion to dismiss felony charges against three UC Davis students involved in a pro-Palestinian protest that included the spray-painting of an Egghead sculpture, despite the defense arguing that the incident was political expression, not a serious criminal offense, and that continued prosecution undermined the values of justice, free speech, and community-based resolution.
