During the trial, the prosecution alleged that the six defendants entered the factory with sledgehammers, intending, if needed, to injure and incapacitate security guards.
But the defendants disputed that the sledgehammers were “weapons of offence”, and insisted they were intended only to damage property.
As the verdicts were being read, the defendants held hands and embraced in the dock, as families and supporters cheered and wept.
The six defendants have been held for around 18 months on remand- exceeding standard UK custodial time limits.
So for you, justice will only be done when a jury finds him guilty? Because he’s already been tried by jury once
Or not guilty. The jury failed to reach a verdict which means the should be re-tried.
