From memory, Glen Stewart was convicted in a court, having been prosecuted by the CAA.

He was found guilty by a jury. I seem to remember thinking that the technical issues hadn't been presented properly to make the jurors capable of understanding quite how complex was the web of decisions had been taken that night, both in terms of the company's approach to (again, from memory) putting GS in a position where he had to fly with an incapacitated FO, and in terms of why the go-around got so close to the hotel.
