Federal prosecutors announced Friday that they will drop all charges against activists arrested and accused of rioting during President Trump's inauguration.
The decision follows two unsuccessful trials in which jurors either acquitted or deadlocked on charges against members of a largely black-clad anti-capitalism march. Other cases were dropped after a judge found prosecutors improperly withheld evidence.
"In light of the results in the cases brought to trial… the U.S. Attorney’s Office has now moved to dismiss charges against the 39 remaining defendants in this matter," office spokesman Bill Miller said in an afternoon statement.
