The trial of Just Stop Oil activists was meant to keep the jurors in the dark about what was atstake. The defendants repeatedly violated the judge's orders tospeakthe forbidden information. The jurors paid no attention; they voted to convict.

I am very disappointed with them. They had the opportunity to help save civilization and choseinstead to facilitate its destruction.

But the defendants' effort was not wasted. The UN rapporteur forenvironmental defenders was there, and his report on the trialwas quite stern.

Side point: I agree that people do not deserve to be punished for making a Zoom call. However,using Zoom implies being under the power of that company, and that isitself a punishment. They should have used Mumble or GNUJami instead.
