Broadview Protest Case Sees Charges Dropped After Judge Flags Prosecutorial Errors
TL;DR
Federal prosecutors admitted misconduct in the grand jury proceedings in the Operation Midway Blitz case against Broadview protesters, prompting U.S. District Judge April Perry to drop all charges against four defendants and pause the trial, with sanctions for misconduct to be considered later; two other defendants had charges dropped earlier in March as the case shifted from felony conspiracy to misdemeanor.
