From AP:
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Wednesday that about 170 of the 280 arrested at Columbia University and City College the night before received summonses.
The remaining 100 or so cases will be making their way through the court system, with the earliest arraignments later Wednesday afternoon and into the evening.
He said he didn’t yet have a sense how many of those arrested were students and how many weren’t affiliated with the colleges.
“My impression in real time is that these cases are going to come to this office and we will do what we always do, which is apply the facts and the law,” Bragg said.
By the way, where are they being held now?
are meaningless. They will be released.
Under New York State’s bail reform laws, judges are required to release criminal defendants on their own recognizance, unless the court makes an “individualized determination” that the defendant poses a flight risk. In addition, the judge must explain the choice of release or bail on the record. The bail conditions options available to judges in order from least restrictive to most restrictive include the following: (1) release on recognizance; (2) non-monetary conditions; (3) pre-trial supervision; (4) electronic monitoring; (5) cash bail.
Number 2 is non monetary conditions. One of those for the non student agitators and the building invaders would be a prohibition for being on a college campus. You claiming to know that number 2 wasn’t used here? They would also be meaningful in preventing the ring leaders from doing it again while on pretrial release. By now NYPD should have intelligence on who they are.
You claiming that you didn’t even know that non monetary conditions were an option? You are either a dummy or a liar.
Wait until they wonder why they don't get the specific high paying job, low interest car loan or mortgage after potential employers and lenders check their backgrounds on the dark web and no one, absolutely no one will be the wiser to understand the why.
So individualized facts and circumstances matter to prosecutors and judges?

are adjudicated. A felony conviction isn’t a wrist slap. We shall see.

They also could charge both burglary and criminal trespass and plead some or all to the CT. They could also determine the ring leaders if not students and prosecute the felony against them.
Patience grasshopper.
