The magistrates return with a not guilty verdict.

Seriously, though, I defy the biggest useful idiot on this site to say Choudhury really was innocent. (you weren't there, you didn't hear the whole trial, blah, blah, blah)

[jno]

it wasn't magistrates. As the story says, it was a jury. Perhaps they listened to the evidence.

Do we we know the composition and average age of the jurors in the first and latter case?

[1ozzy]

I'd hazard a guess.

11 fair and just people at or above voting age.

The facts as stated in the article would suggest that the jurors were:

a. Mentally challenged
b. Sympathisers
or
c. Mentally challenged sympathisers

//But he told the Old Bailey that he had not attempted a terror attack and was trying to get himself killed by being shot by police.//



//Half an hour before he sent the note, he bought a knife sharpener at Sainsbury’s, the court heard. Cray produced a metre-long sword and held it up to show jurors.//



Yep, making sure your metre long sword is sharp is absolutely essential for ensuring that you don't hurt the person on the receiving end.

Both these nutters should not be walking the same streets as sane people. Shocking that one them walked free.
