Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen has twice now brought felony conspiracy and vandalism charges against Stanford University students who occupied a campus building in 2024 in protest of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. After the initial trial ended in a hung jury in February, with jurors unable to reach a determination on either charge, Rosen immediately moved for a retrial. But on May 7, a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge removed him and his office from the case, finding that they could not impartially try the protesters—a rare rebuke for a district attorney, and a major twist to one
