Seven protesters convicted for blocking the Golden Gate Bridge in April last year now face up to five years in county jail, with one also looking at an extra six months for refusing to disperse — a stark contrast to similar Bay Bridge demonstrators who only received fines and community service. The jury couldn’t reach a verdict on a felony conspiracy charge, which could have carried up to 15 years, and prosecutors are weighing whether to retry it. Sentencing is set for Friday, spotlighting how the justice system treats protest actions differently depending on location and political context.
