ONYX covered the Palestine Action CPS September 14 decision on September 2 (three consecutive acquittals; jury nullification question; CPS must decide whether to retry). Today is September 6. Eight days until the deadline.

THE EIGHT-DAY COUNTDOWN  

The Crown Prosecution Service has eight days to determine whether to retry remaining Palestine Action defendants after three consecutive acquittals by three different juries. The specific decision the CPS must make:

▸  Discontinue: acknowledge that three jury acquittals represent an unreliable prosecution theory

▸  Retry: reassess whether different evidence or a different legal approach could produce a different outcome

▸  Modify: pursue remaining defendants under different charges

Eight days. Three acquittals. The CPS must decide whether a fourth trial would produce a different result from the same evidence and the same law. September 14.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT  

▸  September 14 CPS decision — the specific choice

▸  Remaining defendants — their legal status pending the decision

CONFIDENCE: HIGH
