    The UK reddit thread thread is predictably filled with seething rage, mainly about the cop that got hit by a sledgehammer whose spine just did that.

    Can’t believe a British jury understood that when you defend the genocide factory, you not only deserve to get bonked, but the person who did it is innocent.

    Can someone tell me if this is because the jury is cool, because the charges were too strong, because there was some paperwork or procedural thing, or something else? This just seems like a remarkable outcome

      If you click the tweet link the third post says

      Jury refused to convict any defendant on criminal damage. Corner not convicted of GBH.

      but you can basically get that from the first post as well.
