Just days before the remaining “Broadview Six” protesters were set to face a rare trial on misdemeanor charges, federal prosecutors on Thursday dropped all charges against them. The surprise move came after U.S. District Judge April Perry took prosecutors to task in a closed-door hearing earlier that day, during which she all but accused assistant U.S. attorneys of prosecutorial misconduct in front of the grand jury.
U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros took responsibility for his deputies’ behavior in front of the grand jury, but when he attempted to defend the charges he’d just moved to dismiss, the judge accused him of “continuing to vilify these particular defendants.”
