Sentencing will be on television

At Newcastle Crown Court on Friday morning, when the two men were given the jury’s verdict, the judge told jurors that “they are welcome to return to watch the sentencing hearing”, adding that “her remarks will be televised.”

With the value of the National Trust owned tree originally estimated at £622,191, and the damage caused to Hadrian’s Wall by its fall was being assessed at around £1,144, it is unclear exactly what sentences the two men could face after they were found guilty of causing criminal damage to the tree and the Wall.
