An Occupy Wall Street activist has been found guilty of second-degree assault and could face seven years in prison for elbowing a police officer. Cecily McMillan was arrested in March 2012 as protesters tried to re-occupy Zuccotti Park. She says she struck out instinctively after her breast was grabbed from behind by an officer, then suffered a seizure as officers pinned her down. Days later, she appeared on Democracy Now! covered in bruises, at least one in the shape of a handprint, over her right breast. She is being held without bail. We’ll have more on the case later in the broadcast.
