A protester at the “Kill the Bill” demonstration in Bristol last year has been found guilty of arson, after footage showed her pushing a bin towards a burning police car.
While more than a dozen demonstrators are reported to have so far been convicted after pleading guilty to the offence of rioting, Jasmine York was acquitted of the charge at Bristol Crown Court – despite prosecutors’ claims that she had been “an instigator” of the disorder on the 21 March.
