Wasn’t expecting that verdict.

Funny that one of the four doesn't live in Bristol but in Hampshire.

Why?

Why?

Because the defence was that they didn't commit a crime as the statue was owned by the people of Bristol so as citizens of the city it was theirs to do with what they wanted. One of them living in Hampshire doesn't support that defence.

Not withstanding whatever defence Ponsford's barrister put up that the jury believed, this Daily Mail hit piece has him working as a carpenter living in a motorhome in Bristol, so Hampshire may be his registered address but not his place of residence.

The worrying thing is that the statue has been put on trial and not the defendants.
