"This defendant's alleged activity went beyond legal and peaceful protest. Committing arson in a crowded protest endangers the safety of others, and this type of behavior will not be tolerated," said District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
"Not even a little bit," Meltzer-Cohen said when asked by Judge Curtis J. Farber if she or her client wished to make a statement after entering the plea.
Assistant District Attorney Ryan Falk stated prosecutors would not be offering Carlson a deal, citing 'extensive evidence' and 'extensive video surveillance' in the case against him.
Courts records show that Carlson is accused of burning an Israeli flag at a protest after snatching it from a Jewish man before being interrupted by a witness.
