Cecily McMillan
Cecily McMillan (born 1989) is an American activist and advocate for prisoner rights in the United States who was arrested and subsequently convicted of felony second-degree assault after assaulting a New York City Police officer as he led her out of the Occupy Wall Street protest in Zuccotti Park on March 17, 2012. McMillan's highly publicized arrest and trial led to her being called a "cause célèbre of the Occupy Wall Street movement". McMillan claimed that her breast was grabbed and twisted by someone behind her, which she claims to have responded to by reflexively elbowing her perceived attacker in the face.〔Crabapple, Molly (June 11, 2014). "(From Pussy Riot to Snowden: the Dissident Fetish )." ''Vanity Fair''. Retrieved June 26, 2015.〕 The officer involved testified that she deliberately assaulted him, a claim supported by video evidence showing McMillan "bending her knees, then throwing her right elbow into the officer’s eye".〔〔 She was arrested after a brief attempt to flee, and claims to have been beaten by police during her arrest.〔 McMillan was convicted of felony second-degree assault on May 5, 2014, and was subsequently sentenced to three months in prison and five years of probation.〔
Her trial and conviction were criticized as a "miscarriage of justice" by supporters, who accused the court of failing to allow the defense to introduce what they viewed as important evidence. This evidence was primarily additional media and the officer's records, which contained accounts of several past incidents.〔Funkhouser, Kathryn (May 9, 2014). (Editors Don’t Belong in Courtrooms, and Cecily McMillan Doesn’t Belong in Prison )." ''The Nation''. Retrieved June 25, 2015.〕 McMillan was released from prison early on July 2, 2014, after serving 58 days of her jail sentence at Rikers Island. After her release, McMillan advocated for the plight of inmates and attempted to bring increased attention to the relationship between poverty and incarceration.〔Nathanson, Rebecca (September 17, 2014).
