Charges Against Occupy Defendants Dropped |
|
by Mass NLG, |
BOSTON, FEBRUARY 11, 2013. On Friday, February 8, 2013, Suffolk County
prosecutors decided to drop all pending criminal charges against all remaining

constitutionally protected activities. |

The request to set free Albert Woodfox, 65, is being heard by the same federal judge who in 2008 ordered that Woodfox be released, a ruling that Louisiana prosecutors successfully appealed and blocked. |
