in my previos post in no way was I questioning the judges summing up.
The a/c I fly was the 'model' visited by the two juries for demonstration to them of the various features of the a/c and by the cps prior to the initiating the prosecution to review various matters including potential control restrictions due to the size of the front seat passenger. These I think were significant and I thought the AAIB report was pretty damning but was fairly baffled as to what a prosecution was likely to achieve.
I was impressed by the attention paid by the second jury in particular and the thoughtfulness of some of their questions at the time. Clearly there was convincing evidence brought by the defence that lead to the acquittal. I would have found it valuable to have some summary of what this was and in particular how the judge summed all this up. I think it is a shame that this is not generally available
