A little more than two years after police arrested 732 Occupy Wall Street protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge, the last of them has finally appeared before a judge. And like almost all of those before him, the judge dismissed the charges against Jonathan Stribling-Uss. Of those arrested, 680 had their charges dismissed; others pleaded guilty and five were found guilty at trial, but seventeen who did not show up to court now have warrants out. So it’s possible they may wind up back in court even more than two years after their first arrests.
