In Washington state, a jury has cleared five climate justice activists who blocked a mile-long oil train of obstruction charges in a historic case. The so-called Delta 5 were found guilty of trespassing but will not face any jail time. In a historic move, Judge Anthony Howard had allowed the activists to use the necessity defense, arguing their actions were necessary because of the threat of climate change, although the judge ultimately instructed the jury not to consider that defense. Activists said a number of the jurors were deeply impacted by their arguments and agreed to attend a lobbying day on oil trains with one of the defendants.
