    “The ‘Moog 4’ anti-genocide activists who were put on trial for direct action against an arms firm supplying Israel have walked free from Birmingham Crown Court today. The jury in the trial was split and refused to convict the activists despite the prosecution claiming the decision to convict would be ‘simple’”

  2. @AufstandLastGen @LeelaTorres #AltText4u (1/deutsch) FREISPRUCH für Luca & Jori

    Für das Anpinseln des Brandenburger Tors:

    Bereits das Amtsgericht hatte die beiden freigesprochen – die Staatsanwaltschaft ist daraufhin in Berufung gegangen und forderte 170 Tagessätze á 10 € für Luca & 140 Tagessätze á 10 € für Jori. Das Landgericht hat die Berufung vergangene Woche zurückgewiesen.

    (mit 2 Fotos der beiden, wie sie mit Pinseln orangene Farbe an die Säulen vom Brandenburger Tor malen)

    (2/english) ACQUITTAL of Luca & Jori

    For paintbrushing the Brandenburg Gate:

    Already the local district court had acquitted both – but the public prosecution department appealed and wanted 170 daily fine rates of 10 € from Luca & 140 daily fine rates of 10 € from Jori. Last week, the regional court rejected that appeal.

    (including 2 photos of them painting the Brandenburg Gate's pillars with orange paint via paintbrushes)

    “Jurors bravely set aside social conditioning, the natural instinct we all share to defer to authority, and expectations fomented by establishment media. Instead they considered the actual evidence”

  6. A quotation from Euripides

    AGAMEMNON: Perhaps, for you, barbarians, it is easy to kill your guests but for us, Greeks, this is a thing of shame. How, then can I escape blame if I do not judge you guilty? I can’t do it. Since you could endure performing such a dishonourable deed, then you must also endure its awful consequences.
     
    [ἈΓΑΜΈΜΝΩΝ: τάχ᾽ οὖν παρ᾽ ὑμῖν ῥᾴδιον ξενοκτονεῖν:
       ἡμῖν δέ γ᾽ αἰσχρὸν τοῖσιν Ἕλλησιν τόδε.
       πῶς οὖν σε κρίνας μὴ ἀδικεῖν φύγω ψόγον;
       οὐκ ἂν δυναίμην. ἀλλ᾽ ἐπεὶ τὰ μὴ καλὰ
       πράσσειν ἐτόλμας, τλῆθι καὶ τὰ μὴ φίλα.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Hecuba [Hekabe; Ἑκάβη], l. 1247ff (c. 424 BC) [tr. Theodoridis (2007)]

  7. A person w/knowledge of the #Trump camp’s #fundraising plans …said there had been discussions about how much an #acquittal would help Trump, potentially raising tens of millions of additional dollars as they planned to cite it as more evidence the #justice system was rigged. After Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts, his campaign raised record sums online, & some of his advisers recognized that an acquittal of #Biden’s son had the potential to raise Trump far more cash than a #conviction.

  8. Many #Trump allies had been secretly rooting for an #acquittal. The talking points wrote themselves: It would have been yet more evidence that the #UnitedStates #justice system was rigged in favor of #Bidens & against Trumps. Tues’s #guilty #verdict was inconvenient to that narrative.

    Even more valuable would have been the #fundraising potential.

  9. When #SCOTUS agreed to hear the case, it said it would decide:“Whether & if so to what extent does a fmr president enjoy #PresidentialImmunity from #criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve #OfficialActs during his tenure in office.”
    That sentence has been closely scrutinized. On the one hand, it seemed to exclude from consideration #Trump’s argument that his #acquittal at his 2nd #impeachment, on charges that he incited #insurrection, blocked any prosecution on similar charges.

  10. To Jack Smith, who raises the flag
    That Trump could get justice so rag
    Even knowing his guilt
    An acquittal he'd built
    And sees the cost of the endless drag
