SHAC YER BOOTY

The trial of campaigners linked to Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) is drawing to a close. The jury have been out since Monday morning and are still trying to reach a verdict. The trial is of eight people charged with 'Conspiracy to Blackmail' (see SchNEWS 652). The maximum penalty for this offence is fourteen years in prison. Watch this space for coverage once the verdict is reached.
