In the news

Good read

Love their writing.

This criticism is the rather regrettable sort of fallacy you risk when you seek opinions on criminal law from writers with no experience of the criminal courts, but it is hard to convey in sober terms how utterly batshit this proposition is

Thanks RHB.

That explains a lot about the legal verdict was reached (as inexplicable as it seems on the surface to a layman).

This info is long overdue. The papers should have explained this as soon as the jury came in. Another point to bring up is that legal precedents like this one immediately become part of
the UK's written constitution, as have the many other cases where protesters have admitted offences but been acquitted.

That's a rather good article: thoughtful and detailed but perfectly accessible to the layman. Thanks for sharing.

Bit late but thanks for the SB link
