Pair guilty of felling world famous Sycamore Gap tree.
Daniel Graham, 39, and Adam Carruthers, 32, both from Cumbria, were each convicted of two counts of criminal damage unanimously by jurors at Newcastle Crown Court.

She said now he had been convicted of a "serious offence" for which he could receive a "lengthy" prison term, there was a "substantial" risk he would fail to turn up for his sentencing hearing.
Just read this on the BBC News website. Hopefully they will get a longer sentence5 -
For a case like the Sycamore Gap tree felling - charged as criminal damage under UK law and tried in the Crown Court - the Sentencing Council provides specific guidelines based on several factors.Relevant Offence:Criminal Damage (value exceeding £5,000)Maximum sentence in the Crown Court: 10 years’ imprisonmentSentencing Guidelines Overview (Crown Court)1. Assessing Culpability & HarmSentencing is based on two key factors:Culpability: How intentional or reckless the offender was.- High culpability includes premeditation, use of tools, or targeting symbolic property.- Harm: The impact of the offence, including:Financial loss (e.g., £622,000+ for the tree)- Cultural/historic value (e.g., Sycamore Gap's symbolic significance)- Wider emotional/public impactThis case likely falls into:- High culpability (planned, deliberate)- High harm (very high value, national cultural loss)2. Starting Point & Sentencing RangesFor high culpability and high harm, the Crown Court sentencing range is generally:Starting Point: 18 months’ custodyRange: 6 months to 4 years’ custodyAggravating Factors (could increase sentence):Targeting a protected or heritage siteLack of remorseConcealment or dishonesty after the offenceOffence committed in group or with planningMitigating Factors (could reduce sentence):Early guilty plea (if applicable)Genuine remorseMental health or personal circumstances
I can't see how they can avoid a lengthy custodial sentence.8 -

The JSO idiot and fuckwit Hallam had his 5 year sentence reduced to 4 years - that seems like a reasonable length for for these two idiots as well.0 - Sponsored links:

Should string'em up from the nearest tree.0

Bring back the birch3

I hope this punishment will see them turn over a new leaf.
And not branch out into further crime.1 -
I expect their loved ones will pine for them while they are banged up.
Personally I think they should be burned at the stake until they are ash.1 -
They deserve all the stick they are getting.1

the fact that a tree is worth more than most houses in Northumberland is the real crime.0

Heard they were caught by special branch?0

In all seriousness, mad that a 31 year left his partner at home with a week old baby to drive 30 miles in a storm in the middle of the night to cut down a massive tree for no reason beyond having the same sense of humour as 14 year old chavs smashing the glass on a bus stop.

39 going on 15 by his actions.7 -
I think there should be some sort of National Service set up for offenders, as opposed to sending them to prison.
There must be a way of getting these people to serve a useful purpose, when they are not a serious danger to the public.5 -
Mindless.1
