Prosecutors and defense attorneys presented closing arguments this week in the trial of five pro-Palestine activists accused of felony vandalism at Stanford University’s executive offices, with defense attorneys arguing that prosecutors failed to prove the charge. Singh argued that prosecutors failed to prove the alleged crime or show the specific intent required for felony vandalism or conspiracy. Stanford student and Drop the Charges organizer Mark Allen Cu previously said the case raises broader concerns about free speech and dissent on campus. “Are Santa Clara County and Stanford University places that protect free speech and dissent, or not?” Cu said in a statement. “The pursuit of felony charges and restitution demands is not just an attempt to punish the Stanford 11,” Cu said.
