Charges against 7 Red Raiders DROPPED (Edison High fiasco update)

More developments have come for the students that made nationwide news a few months ago. 7 of the students from Miami Edison High charged after the protest-turned melee at the school received word today that all state charges were dropped. You may remember our previous post about the incident, stemming from a protest of the arrest of a student allegedly assault by assistant principal Javier Perez, that quickly turned into chaos. A subsequent protest, held a week later at M. Athalie Range Park across from the school, resulted in students voicing their frustrations, getting community attention, and returning to classes without incident.

The 19 remaining students (all minors) have upcoming court dates to decide the fate of their charges.
