>On Friday 28th at Hemel Hempstead magistrates court, 11 people were found 
>not guilty of aggravated trespass at the Sainsbury's distribution centre 
>in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.

>The prosecution failed to prove that distributing animal produce fed on 
>genetically modified feed is legal. The group blockaded the distribution 
>centre in February by locking on to lorries and gates and by climbing on 
>top of lorries dressed in cow costumes. The blockade lasted for 10 hours 
>in total.
>
>The group revealed in court that despite massive public opposition, 
>Sainsbury's were selling animal and dairy produce fed on GM feed, and that 
>the products weren't even labelled.
>
>More court cases are due.
