NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – An Occupy Wall Street activist convicted of assaulting a police officer could get as much as seven years in prison.

But the activist, Cecily McMillan, might also get probation.

Her attorney says she’ll address the judge at her sentencing Monday.

The felony trial of McMillan, a 25-year-old graduate student, became a rallying point for activists. Dozens of her supporters are expected to be in the courtroom.
