    CLOSING SPEECH ON R V Hynes

    May it please the court; members of the jury,


    You have now seen the trial and you have heard the evidence from this case and arguments
    from both the defence and the prosecution. The incident that took place months ago is
    drawing to a close and it is time to provide a judgement. Your job, as members of the jury, is
    to reach a fair and just verdict. In the meantime, my learned friends and I will be reviewing
    the case by reminding you what the evidence suggests, whilst addressing the relevancy of
    the law in this case.
    Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the burden of proof lies with
    me to prove there is beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. Essentially, you
    must be satisfied so that you are sure of Rowan Hynes’s guilt. What this means, is that if you
    have any reasonable doubts as to the defendant’s guilt, you should pronounce the
    defendant not guilty. However, if you agree with me and do not doubt that the evidence
    shows the defendant’s guilt, I have proven the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt
    and your job would be to return a guilty verdict.
    Ladies and gentlemen of the Jury, let me take you back to that afternoon on 8 th July 2023.
    During a protest against oil that was scheduled at 13:13, the event took an unexpected turn
    as it gained momentum. The initially peaceful protesters of approximately 100 individuals at
    the location grew in size, causing a disruption to many vehicles. The protest led to the
    blockage of roads, resulting in a traffic jam. As a consequence, numerous drivers, including
    one driver, found themselves delayed and, regrettably, late for important appointments.
    The road blockade, unintended as it may have been, also posed a serious impediment to
    emergency services. Ambulances in route to a nearby hospital were unable to get to their
    location through the large blockade, potentially affecting critical medical situations.
    Tensions escalated as individuals at the front of the vehicular queue engaged in heated
    arguments with the protestors. Frustrations escalated to the point where a person from the
    queue attempted to physically remove a seated protestor obstructing the road. In response,
    a member of the protesting crowd intervened, increasing the chaos by directing anger
    towards a driver.
    You will be familiar with the facts of the case by now and from all the evidence you have
    heard, it simply points to one answer. Rowan was involved at the scene and has created a
    risk to the public by acting recklessly.

    Points that the defence has made
