Elijah Gantt’s Trial and Ferguson’s Legacy | St. Louis News

One year after being arrested during a fiery Ferguson protest marking the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown’s death, Elijah Gantt’s trial is now underway — facing charges for allegedly injuring a police officer. The protest, originally a peaceful commemoration of 2014’s unrest, spiraled into chaos, leading to multiple arrests, including Gantt’s. His defense argues he’s not responsible for the alleged damage, while his family speaks to his struggles. He’s among six others still navigating legal consequences from that day — some sentenced to jail and probation, others charged with criminal mischief. Gantt’s case is a stark reminder of the enduring legal and emotional fallout from Ferguson’s pivotal anniversary.
