Judge Dismisses Violent Disorder Charge | Bristol News
Description
A judge just tossed the violent disorder charge against William Plastow, 35, in the Elbit Systems factory break-in case — a major blow to the prosecution’s case, since it hinges on alleged planning and coordination. Plastow, one of eight defendants at the Old Bailey, now faces only criminal damage charges. The prosecution claims the group plotted the raid, bought tools and weapons, and aimed to cause maximum damage — even if they weren’t physically there. With Plastow’s charge dropped, the trial moves forward with the remaining seven defendants, including Ian Sanders, Aleksandra Herbich, and others, as their legal teams brace for a tougher fight. This ruling underscores the legal complexities of prosecuting activist-style disruptions — and the case is far from over.
