Steven Heywood“It is fanciful to suggest that Ms Warner’s behaviour falls into the category of contempt.”
How many rape trials have been held on hold while government law officers wasted money and court time on this frivolous nonsense?

NickYou can read the full judgment in #TrudiWarner’s important victory over the Solicitor General here. It confirms the principle of #juryequity and acknowledges that the difference between it being a “right” and a “power”, as put forward by the SG, is essentially a non-argument. #Righttoprotest #ClimateCrisis #TrialByJury

RobThe Trudi Warner #contempt case brings to mind a significant so-called 'perverse' verdict from 1991.
Michael #Randle and Patrick #Pottle were charged with helping a spy escape from prison in 1963.
The judge told the jury the defendants had no defence. The jury knew they were guilty - the pair admitted it in a book - and yet the jury unanimously found them not guilty.

Extinction Rebellion OxfordToday a letter signed by 300 people was delivered to Robert Courts, the solicitor general. Following actions across the country in 2023, including outside Oxford Crown Court, it requests that he prosecutes the signatories if he persists with prosecuting Trudi Warner.
Trudi Warner was arrested for standing outside Inner London Crown Court with a sign containing the same words as a plaque in the Old Bailey.
