Stanford Students Trial for Pro-Palestinian Protest

Five Stanford students face trial for felony charges stemming from a pro-Palestinian protest last year, where they allegedly vandalized the university presidents offices. The case is rare as its one of the few instances where demonstrators from the 2024 campus protests are being fully tried on such charges. The students are accused of spray-painting, smashing windows, disabling security cameras, and splattering fake blood, with Stanford seeking $329,000 in restitution. Defense attorneys argue their clients are exercising their right to a jury trial, while the district attorney emphasizes the distinction between free speech and criminal vandalism.
