In this case a jury decided. The very basis of our justice system and democracy.
No, because a different jury sitting a different case may well convict.
They haven't got away with anything, a jury decided they didn't commit a crime. It's a very thin end of a wedge it we suddenly start making...
There's loads of other examples that didn't open the proverbial floodgates, and no doubt many convictions result in other cases as well. Notable acquittals when the damage or conspiracy to damage wasn't denied;
2000 - 2 anti-nuclear protestors cleared of conspiracy to cause criminal damage...
PotG, have you seriously got no sense of humour whatsover!? Sarcasm...pull the other one, made yourself a bigger plum than you did first time. :lolol::facepalm:

That’s because history is interpretation whereas the past happens regardless of whether someone interprets it or not. That’s why we have ‘prehistory’ as a term. Reminds me of a Samuel Butler quote “God can’t alter the past, though historians can”.
So what you're saying is we need more statues of bad stuff to remind us bad stuff might happen if we're not reminded of the bad stuff enough?
Okaaaaay......
