The Colston Statue puller-downers have been acquitted. This is patently a GOOD THING. But what does it mean for future defendants?

There have been cases in the past where Juries have defied Judges. John Lilburne was twice acquitted by juries during the Commonwealth but Oliver Cromwell locked him up anyhow. In 1833 a Jury recorded a inques
