HILLSBOROUGH, NC (WNCN) – The woman accused of vandalizing the “Silent Sam” Confederate statue on UNC-Chapel Hill’s campus months before the statue was torn down by protesters was found guilty.
Police charged Maya Little, a Ph.D. candidate in history at UNC, with vandalism in May.
On Monday, she was found guilty of that charge.
Little had been vocal against Silent Sam’s presence on campus for more than a year.
