The jury in the trial of two former friends accused of cutting down the beloved tree at Sycamore Gap has been told they must consider the evidence “calmly and dispassionately”.
The prosecution says groundworker Daniel Graham, 39, and mechanic Adam Carruthers, 32, drove around for 40 minutes from the Carlisle area, during Storm Agnes, to fell the sycamore beside Hadrian’s Wall in September 2023.
