TP2000 Not Guilty!

After 5 hours of deliberation on Jan 18th, a jury gave a majority verdict of not guilty for two Trident Ploughshares 2000 pledgers.

They were charged with conspiracy to commit criminal damage by attempting to decommission the Trident nuclear weapon submarine HMS Vengeance in Nov ‘99.

The two happily admitted their intention to trash the sub, as nuclear weapons are immoral and in breach of international law. The judge told the jury that such ideals formed no defence against the charge. He was ignored.
