21. I generally dislike this form of 'activism', and the defense's argument that
a guilty verdict "could chill student activism and the free exchange of ideas at colleges" is arrant nonsense, but this should never have been in the courtroom - campus procedures and sanctions could have deal with it perfectly adequately (and usually do). I really have to (not) wonder why it went so far with these particular students...

Another thing I don't like is this prosecutorial double-dipping: conspiring ought to be subsumed into actually doing it - charges for both seem unfair.

(By the way, it's 10 guilty, not 11.)
