A Santa Clara County judge is contemplating the recusal of District Attorney Jeff Rosen from retrying five pro-Palestinian activists on vandalism charges. The activists broke into the Stanford president's office to demand divestment from companies aiding Israel. The initial trial ended with a deadlocked jury. Allegations have surfaced that Rosen used the case for campaign fundraising, including soliciting donations on his website. The judge has allowed the defense more time to gather relevant records before making a decision on the recusal.
