Travis County Attorney Delia Garza announced that her office will dismiss 79 criminal trespass cases stemming from pro-Palestinian protests at the University of Texas at Austin in late April. After spending approximately 90 hours reviewing evidence, prosecutors determined they could not meet the legal burden of proof to sustain the charges. The decision has sparked reactions from various stakeholders, including UT Austin, which expressed disappointment over the dismissal of the charges. The protests, which took place on April 29, led to the arrests of nearly 80 individuals who were advocating for Palestinian rights.
