A San Francisco jury convicts seven pro-Palestinian protesters on misdemeanor charges tied to an April 2024 demonstration that blocked traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge. Multiple outlets report the jury did not reach a verdict on a more serious felony conspiracy charge. The San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins says each defendant is found guilty on six misdemeanor counts, including false imprisonment, obstruction of a thoroughfare, and unlawful assembly. One of the defendants is also convicted of refusing to disperse, according to Jenkins’ statement reported by local and international media. The protesters are expected to be sentenced in August, with reported maximum exposure of up to five years in county jail for the misdemeanor convictions. The case becomes part of broader public debate over how authorities respond to pro-Palestinian demonstrations. One defense representative is reported as saying that convictions on lesser charges are a partial outcome for the defendants, while the jury’s deadlock on the felony count indicates the more severe allegation was not proven to the jury’s satisfaction.
