The US Justice Department has had limited success in securing felony convictions against protesters arrested for assaulting federal authorities. Of 102 protesters arrested in four major cities, most did not result in felony convictions. A dozen cases that went to trial ended in acquittal, mistrial, or dismissal.
This outcome is unusual for the Justice Department, which typically has a high success rate in federal assault prosecutions. The remaining felony assault cases are set to go to trial this fall. Further details are available on the Justice Department's record in these cases and the implications of their outcomes.
