Charges against five Stanford pro-Palestinian protesters to be dismissed
California Attorney General Rob Bonta's office agreed to dismiss charges against five current and former Stanford students who barricaded themselves inside the university president's office during a 2024 pro-Palestinian protest. The dismissal requires each defendant to complete 100 hours of community service and pay approximately $52,000 combined in restitution to Stanford. A judge declared a mistrial in February after jurors could not reach a verdict, and the California AG's office took over the case after the Santa Clara County DA was removed.
