said she had concerns with the prosecution of Thomas Jurgens, a Southern Poverty Law Center staff attorney. Jurgens was one of 23 people charged with domestic terrorism March 5 after more than 150 masked protesters stormed a construction site, torching equipment while throwing projectiles at fleeing officers. Protesters were arrested more than an hour later about three-quarters of a mile away after they retreated to a nearby music festival that was filled with other activists.
“That was one of the touch points of a number of touch points that ultimately led me to make decision,”said of Jurgens’ arrest. “I will only proceed on cases that I believe that I can make beyond a reasonable doubt.”
