Hope the jury are proud of themselves because in a small town like Blenheim everyone knows or can find out who they are and where they live. My pick the jury was made up of sickly white retired liberals. |

| 867999 | 2010-03-17 20:22:00 | My more considered opinion is that the Police got it wrong in laying the wrong charges. The Judge also exacerbated the issue in his summing up. In this case the defence relied on common law which may take precedence over Criminal law. The prosecution does have the right of Appeal if they think they would be successful. |

| 868000 | 2010-03-18 00:26:00 | The politics aside, how can the NZ courts find these guys not guilty of intentional damage to the dome. They were caught on site, with the sickles and rakes and a bloody great hole cut in the side of the protective bubble. The hole wasn't caused by some kamikaze Magpie!! It pisses me off that the damage done by these guys, now has to be paid for by the average Joe blow taxpayer That these 3 believe that this satellite dish causes harm is really beside the point. I believe that the 2 young guys at the end of my road are eventually going to kill someone with their stupid driving, but that does not give me the right to go and destroy their cars to prevent this happening. I admire their conviction to their cause but not their trampling of everyone else’s rights to not have to pay for their vandalism. HH Ho, just wait, we will have activist nutters doing damage everywhere now as NZ juries say its okay! |

One jury's opinions and decisions apply only to the facts of that case . A senior judge's decisions trickle on down the line with all taking note - the single jury decsion means diddly-squat to the next jury or case . Bring on the fruit-cake lunatic fringe and watch more sensible juries crap on them . :cool: |
