The Occupy Wall Street protester whose tweets were subpoenaed by the Manhattan district attorney pleaded guilty yesterday to a single count of disorderly conduct. The attorney for defendant Malcolm Harris, 23, said Harris is planning to appeal findings in the criminal case, including whether he can challenge subpoenas served on Twitter by the Manhattan D.A.
Harris was one of about 700 people arrested in a march last year over the Brooklyn Bridge. The D.A. sought Harris’ Twitter subscriber information and more than three months of Tweets to counter his anticipated defense that police led him and others onto the road where they were arrested.
