Please outline key points in prosecution and defence cases.
|
Defendant was arrested after a 5 stage appeal under S14 by PC Ogden. There was BWV and he was asked to leave and refused. He was cuffed and he refused to walk and was carried. There were no interviews at the PS. Defendant felt his actions were proportionate and in line with Zeiglar and Articles 10 and 11. The IPCC report requires fundamental system change and the Government does nothing. What will the Gov. do with half a million refugees? The richest 1% are responsible for 50% of the emissions. The bridge was disrupted for 3 hours. This is nothing compared to what will happen. He is a writer on the environment and has worked in sustainable farming in Nicaragua. NVDA is the only recourse he has. He was articulate, clear and compelling. |
