Nine female anti-war protesters were yesterday acquitted of breaking into a weapons development office to cause criminal damage.
A Belfast Crown Court jury deliberated for slightly more than an hour before returning with unanimous not guilty verdicts for the nine Derry women.
However the jury convicted James King (67), Hatmore Park, of criminal damage and possessing a can of spray paint with intent to cause criminal damage after he daubed anti-Raytheon slogans on the wall.
The jury also convicted Kieran Gallagher (44), Dunservick Park, of impersonating a police officer.
