They believed that EDO MBM, the firm that owns the factory, was breaking export regulations by manufacturing and selling to the Israelis military equipment which would be used in the occupied territories.

WHAT? That is nonsense! Even if that allegation were true, surely that is a matter for the relevant export authorities? Since when did they get the right to enforce public law?

This is why juries can be a massive obstacle to justice. There is no objective assessment of the facts and the law, its about pandering to the emotions and prejudices of ordinary, tabloid-reading imbeciles...

There is no dispute that the law was broken, they admitted to doing it. But they voted ‘not guilty’ in a blatant act of jury nullification that completely disregarded the law...
