A Des Moines Register reporter whose trial was the subject of outrage among press freedom advocates was acquitted Wednesday on all charges stemming from her arrest while covering a Black Lives Matter protest last summer.
After a three-day trial, a jury took only two hours to find the reporter, Andrea May Sahouri, was not guilty on charges of failure to disperse and interference with official acts. Spenser Robnett, Sahouri's then-boyfriend, was also acquitted on the same charges. Police claimed that Sahouri ignored orders and failed to leave the site of a Black Lives Matter protests in Des Moines on May 31, 2020.More Related News
