Proving again that in Ireland, the law is an ass or there just for the elite to try use to their favour.
Joan Burton tried to see that a number of innocent men were jailed for trying to PEACEFUL protest. She and her Labour party failed.
Over SIX months and 20+ Garda was used to chase a number of protesters. This alone was a bloody awful lot of wasted Garda resources. Shameful. The charges put on the now found innocent people, was completely stupid from the start. What has this farce of a case ultimately cost?
Certain people in the case lied through their teeth in order to try see a conviction, tried to fix the jury (restricting who could be on it and bias stop others through imposed restrictions based on location or even politics).
The whole damn thing was an expensive farce - but then what's what Fine Gael, Labour and Fianna Fail have been doing for decades.... Make one expensive farce after another!
The whole Labour party stood by the farce of a trial and those that tried to convict the very people they PR say, they are representing, the working class. This was a contrived witch-hunt against peaceful protesters and thankfully the jury possible recognised it also.
The proper verdict would NOT have been arrived at, had it not been for the additional video evidence that was available via people's phones. Garda and the usual political elected Mafia are currently trying to to make it illegal to record Garda as they go about trying to 'get' someone.
As was shown in the video evidence in court, again state authorities and others involved in this witch-hunt case, were found to have blatantly lied in the dock when giving evidence. Had it not been for the additional contributory video evidence, there might have been wrong convictions based in part or whole on lies told by others.
Many people's rights was infringed and further tried to be attacked through the Jobstown trial witch-hunt. Even more people's rights, are still under attack currently!
The Labour party now, will try wash its hands of anything to do with the trial.
