Quote:
Two men have been found guilty of the "mindless destruction" of the world famous Sycamore Gap tree, the felling of which sparked international outrage.
The tree had grown in a dip on Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland for more than 100 years before it was cut down in a "moronic mission" in the early hours of 28 September 2023, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
Daniel Michael Graham, 39, from Carlisle, and Adam Carruthers, 32, from Wigton in Cumbria, were each convicted of two counts of criminal damage.

They now have to decide what the tree was actually worth, which is a material concern in criminal damage cases.
Both these fools are now locked up on remand, but they will certainly be spending a lot longer in jail after their get sentenced in July.
I seriously can’t get my head round what they thought they were achieving.
