A journalist who was jailed on several felony charges while documenting a
protest at UC Berkeley won a $162,500 settlement last week.



UC Berkeley police also seized David Morse’s camera as evidence and held
on to his memory card for more than six months before a judge ordered it returned to him.



And when they did, he discovered they had deleted a photo he took of
them arriving on the scene, which contradicted their story that he was
fleeing from the scene.



He was charged with attempted arson of an inhabited structure,
vandalism, participation in a riot, attempted burglary, threatening a
university official, and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon
against a police officer.
