"Nine Prairieland Defendants Found Guilty in First ‘Antifa’ Test Case

Fort Worth, TX – After two days of deliberations, a jury in the contentious Prairieland trial found all nine defendants guilty on a list of federal crimes. The decision marks a significant blow to protest movements under the Trump administration, which has used the case as a legal test for criminalizing a wide range of historically protected activity.

The jury returned guilty verdicts on Friday afternoon, convicting Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Benjamin Song, Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto of multiple federal offenses.

Supporters and legal advocates are deeply concerned about what Friday’s verdict represents for the future of protest movements in the U.S."

The state is the most gigantic criminal extant. It manufactures criminals much faster than it punishes them.
