Another not guilty verdict for a Fairford protester

Josh Richards was arrested at Fairford in March 2003 - reportedly headed towards the B52s with a can of fuel and a box of matches - reportedly to burn them. After waiting several years for judgement of his actions and waiting through his two trials.....he was given that judgement today!
Following the not guilty verdict of the B-52 Two - Philip Pritchard and Toby Olditch - at the end of May, another Fairford protester has today been found not guilty of a similar charge...
From Josh:
Dear Friends & Friends of Friends,
HUNG JURY – NOT GUILTY !!
After 9-10 hours, the jury could not reach a majority verdict either way – Hung Jury. The prosecution stated they had no further evidence to offer and, just before 4 p.m., the Judge ruled Not Guilty.
Extremely, extremely good news, for everyone who has been following things, for the unique & brilliant defence team and, of course, for me.
Peace,
Josh
