Jury Finds Muslim Students Guilty of Disrupting Speech
-Lauren Williams, Nicole Santa Cruz & Mike Anton
A Santa Ana, California jury found 10 Muslim students guilty of disrupting a speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren at UC Irvine last year. The students were placed on three years of informal probation, and ordered to perform 56 hours of community service.
"History requires us to draw a line in the sand against this sort of organized thuggery," said District Attorney Tony Rackauckas, who called the students' disruptions "censorship by a few."
Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Irvine School of Law not[ed] that speech used to squelch another's First Amendment right is not constitutionally protected.
