Six British anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian activists will face a retrial on a number of charges relating to a 2024 raid on Israeli defense firm Elbit’s UK factory, in which a police officer’s spine was allegedly fractured in a filmed sledgehammer attack.
Last month, a jury failed to reach verdicts on criminal damage charges. Rajwani, Rogers and Devlin were found not guilty of violent disorder, with verdicts not reached for the three others.
The jury additionally did not reach a verdict against Corner for the charge of causing grievous bodily harm, despite him being filmed striking a policewoman with a sledgehammer and fracturing her lumbar spine.
Prosecutors say there will be a retrial for all charges which had not ended in verdicts. The trial is expected to take place next February.
What will change? Britain has a law saying that "If you thought you were being virtuous when you broke the law" then your sentence is reduced. That's why the 1st jury let these criminals off. They were freeing Palestine, don't you know, and that justified everything they did.
ReplyDeleteSo why would a second trial be any different?
