Occupy Wall Street Protesters Get Their Day in Court | MetroFocus. What is an ACD? An adjournment contemplating dismissal, commonly referred to as an ACD, is a form of conditional probation. It is not an admission of guilt, nor is it an affirmation of innocence, Stolar explained. But ACDs do have other legal implications, he said, particularly for non-citizens and for people who may be involved in other types of criminal or civil cases.
A defendant who accepts an offer of an ACD does not have to decide whether to plead guilty or not guilty. Instead, if the defendant avoids arrest for a certain period of time, then all charges will be dismissed and the case record sealed. But if during that period a defendant gets arrested again, for anything, the original charge will be reinstated and proceed towards trial. The second mass arrest of Occupy Wall Street protesters resulted in more than 700 arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge on Oct. 1. Why might protesters reject ACDs? A chilling effect? Will all Occupy Wall Street protesters get an ACD? Occupy Together | Home. Occupy protests around the world: full list visualised | News.
