San Francisco Jury Hangs on Felony Charges in Golden Gate Bridge Protest Trial

A San Francisco jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on felony conspiracy charges and one misdemeanor trespassing charge against seven individuals accused of obstructing traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge during an April 15, 2024, demonstration protesting U.S. support for Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. However, the defendants were convicted on several lesser misdemeanor offenses, including false imprisonment, obstruction of a thoroughfare, and unlawful assembly.
