Occupy Wall Street To NYC: Drop Charges Against 800 Or We Will March To Court For Every Trial

Edited on Mon Oct-17-11 06:33 PM by PeaceNikki

There's been around 800 Occupy Wall Street protestors arrested since the movement began, and all of them are ready to head to court.

The New York Daily News reported that the protestors' defense lawyers from the National Lawyer's Guild have asked New York City to drop the charges against the occupiers or they will refuse to settle and bring all 800 cases to court.

Protestors are also planning on marching to every trial if the district attorney continues to prosecute cases - starting with the November 15 court date already set for 60 occupiers.

The National Lawyer's Guild and Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. will meet today.
