51 UCD Protesters Won't Be Charged - Sacramento News Story - KCRA Sacramento


51 UCD Protesters Won't Be Charged - Sacramento News Story - KCRA Sacramento:

"WOODLAND, Calif. -- Fifty-one people who were arrested at UC Davis earlier this month in connection with a protest regarding student fees won't be charged, according to the Yolo County District Attorney's Office.

'Based on my discussions with Chancellor Katehi and Police Chief Spicuzza, the District Attorney's Office will not be filing criminal charges at this time. While criminal charges may be filed for up to one year after the date of the alleged violation, it is our hope that future student demonstrations will comply with the law and eliminate any need for the District Attorney’s involvement at all,' Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said in a statement."
