‘In written arguments, Mira Hammad KC, representing Kamio, said the defendants had initially been arrested on suspicion of involvement in acts of terrorism but not charged with those offences “showing that a deliberate decision was taken not to submit the crown’s case [that there was terrorism] to the arbitrament of a jury…’
‘[therefore] the court should not allow the crown to use [section 69] as a vehicle for enhancing sentence in circumstances where it has determined that a conviction for the same offence by the jury is unlikely”.’
The #Labour government decided a jury was unlikely to convict the #filton4 of terrorism, so it allowed them to think they were just being tried for criminal damage…then it allowed the judge to sentence them based on it being terrorism.
The justice system is imploding.
