You may remember last fall when Ohio University student senate president Megan Marzec, instigator of the “Blood Bucket Challenge” against Israel, had her critics arrested at a meeting.
Those four students rejected a plea deal involving $100 fines and disorderly-conduct misdemeanors and were headed for trial, but now those charges “will be dropped,” The Post reports:
Not all of the defendants, Rebecca Sebo, Jonah Yulish, Maxwell Peltz and Gabriel Sirkin, had received official notice of their charges of disturbing a lawful meeting being dropped as of press time. However, Larry Zuckerman, Peltz’s lawyer, said it was definite.
The fourth-degree misdemeanor holds a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail and a $250 fine.
“Nothing is official yet,” Sebo, a member of Bobcats for Israel who was removed from the Sept. 10 meeting after calling for Student Senate President Megan Marzec’s resignation, said. “If it is true, obviously we’re very excited.”
Peltz, one of the students, assumes charges were dropped “because they violated our right to a speedy trial,” though his lawyer Zuckerman is somewhat disappointed they aren’t going to trial:“I wish people could have seen the discriminatory way they were treated by the university and the student body.”
