The Crown has decided not to proceed with the Aggravated
Burglary* charge against all remaining 18 defendants; with
6 already having been found not guilty
The Crown are however seeking a retrial on all the other
charges, on which the jury were unable to reach a verdict
quote:
Heer told Mr Justice Johnson on Wednesday: "As we indicated
at the end of the trial, we now confirm the prosecution
intention to seek a retrial in respect of all those allegations
which no verdict was returned by the jury.
"That is criminal damage against all defendants, the three
defendants on the allegation of violent disorder, and with Mr
Corner on the allegation of causing grievous bodily harm with
intent."

* Aggravated burglary requires an offender to commit a burglary
while with a weapon which they intend to use to cause injury
or incapacitate a person. The first six defendants to be tried
were carrying sledgehammers but their lawyers told the jury that
they were intended to be used to destroy property at the Elbit site.
