The prosecution finished and the defence began their closing arguments in the past 20 minutes.
Sorry cant be there,my greatest solidarity to those in the hands of our "justice " system.
No Blood for Oil!
Sorry that I can't be there.
But we'll sink a few (or a lot more) victory pints tomorrow night.
Thinking of ye,
Seán
I will be celebrating with you as soon as decision is out.
Thinking of you all. Your victory will be a blessing for every anti-war activist - for all of us.
Solidarity

Sorry I am not there now in person, I offer my sincerest support to Cairan ,Damo ,Nuin Dierdre and Karen. Much love to you all.
If 200,000 innocent Iraqis being murdered is not reason for aquittal then I dont know anything. Regardless of the outcome you have done the right and humane thing.
Love Paul.
Peace and love to you all!
To each of you five, with thoughts of you all week and waiting to hear the outcome. It has been a graced opportunity of witness - all sixty members of my community have had access t o the report of Day 4 which was very moving and inspiring.

thanks again to the 5 for their action, which did have a big impact, it begs the question that ciaran brings up in this audio piece and that harry browne brought up at the ATGWU when kathy kelly and jimmy massey spoke; what are the rest of us doing......
sorry have not been able to get down enough, hoping for justice, hoping this all brings more action for further justice
thanks for sparking things...

Peace Ciaron, and God be with all of you. I've been watching the goings-on from lovely (?) South Bend, Indiana, USA home of the "Fighting Irish" football team...
The Prosecution and Defence have finished their closing arguments.
The Judge will begin to address the Jury tomorrow morning at 10.30 or 11.00.
She will complete her address on Monday morning
This was one of the alternatives given to the jury and, after retiring to think about it, they decided to accept this one.
This means that probably the verdict will be given some time on Monday.
In my humble opinion, all 4 addresses to the jury were brilliant - and all different.
A fuller report on the day's proceedings will be posted later.
First of all, good luck to the Pitstop Ploughshares.
Secondly, can anyone tell me if the Judge ruled against their defence going to the Jury this time, as on the previous two occasions? (By this I mean the argument that they had lawful excuse for damaging the planes because they were preventing a greater crime).
The 'lawful excuse' argument was allowed this time, though she may say a few words about this in her summation. The important thing is that it was allowed and the jury can make up its own mind.
I would guess that means that the chance of not guilty verdicts is high. Let's hope so anyway.
It is certainly a much higher possibility than it was before the 'lawful excuse' defence was allowed. Fingers crossed. Moreover, there were very strong closing speeches by the defence barristers. Let's hope the jury makes the right decision.
