Now you have to take a washington times article with a grain of salt as they are a notorious liberal squish newspaper. (Snark for the ignorant)

Mr. Billig said the teens arrested last week would not be prosecuted under the newly signed law because their offenses were committed the day before it took effect.

He also stressed that penalties going forward would be up to the judge's discretion.

[I]t is important to note that the 5-year penalty is the maximum allowed but offenders seldom get the maximum sentence unless there are some other factors at play," Mr. Billig told The Washington Times. "A judge would make the final decision if it got to that point but their age, prior offenses and many other factors would certainly be considered in any sentencing decision."

So, instead of facing potential 30 year felonies, the teens are not facing any felonies. The felonies they COULD have been facing was 5 years, which is discretionary for the judge and would have been substantially less.

Oh, yeah, and their actions are, you know, a hate crime.

So, you tell me, is jeff a lying piece of ---- or not?

NEW YORK -- A New York judge on Thursday dismissed trespassing cases against 30 individuals who were among the dozens arrested inside Columbia University's Hamilton Hall during a pro-Palestinian protest in April, with prosecutors citing a lack of evidence.

Of the 46 initially arrested, 15 defendants still face charges, the Manhattan district attorney's office said.

So, let's look at the facts

1/3 of the defendants still face charges
There was a lack of evidence for those charged and the charges dropped
The dropping was done by a judge and not Bragg's office.

Christ, it is amazing how deceitful jeff is. It's almost like he is a lying pos.
