Triumph for the jury system: Oxford Two ‘not guilty’

A jury has found two men who attempted to stop a US B52 flying to Iraq from Britain on a bombing mission NOT GUILTY of conspiracy to cause criminal damage and various other offences.

Their defence was that they were trying to save people and property in Iraq.

The jury was out for only three hours in this, their second trial; the first last October resulted in a hung jury.

There’ll be another similar trial next month in Sudbury.

(That I’m linking there to Stars and Stripes only makes it the sweeter.)
