Judge throws out Rishi Sunak home protest charges - BBC News

49 minutes ago
Greenpeace activists who were charged with causing criminal damage at the home of former prime minister Rishi Sunak have had their case thrown out by a judge.
Michael Grant, 64, Mathieu Soete, 38, Amy Rugg-Easey, 33, and Alexandra Wilson, 32, were given the ruling at York Magistrates' Court on Friday following a two-day trial in July.
District Judge Adrian Lower said that the evidence was too "tenuous" for them to be convicted after they climbed on the roof of Mr Sunak's constituency home in Kirby Sigston, North Yorkshire, last August.
Judge Lower said he would deliver a full ruling on November 11 but he wanted to tell the defendants on Friday as he did not want his verdict "hanging over them any longer".
