In 1970, activist and professor Angela Davis was arrested for her supposed involvement in the armed seizure of Marin County's courthouse in California. She spent 16 months behind bars before being released and acquitted in 1972. Her time in prison helped to shape her future as a staunch prison-industrial complex abolitionist.

A Belfast judge on Thursday acquitted a former British paratrooper known as Soldier F of murdering two men and attempting to murder five others during the 1972 Bloody Sunday shootings. A Belfast judge on Thursday acquitted a British ex-paratrooper of killing unarmed civilians during the 1972 Bloody Sunday massacre, a verdict condemned by victims' relatives and Northern Ireland's political leader. Judge Patrick Lynch told the court he was satisfied there had been an intention to kill but that the prosecution had failed to "establish by whose hand the fatal shots were fired". "I find the accused not guilty on all seven counts," he said, acquitting him of two charges of murder and five of attempted murder during one of the most bitterly contested events of the three-decade "Troubles" that plagued Northern Ireland. The former soldier, identified only as Soldier F, listened to the verdict from behind a thick blue curtain, hidden from view in the packed courtroom. He had been charged with murdering civilians James Wray and William McKinney, and attempting to murder five others during the crackdown on a civil rights protest in the city of Londonderry -- also known as Derry to pro-Irish nationalists.

Defendants were accused of misdemeanour charges of assisting a criminal organisation and espionage.
Defendants were accused of misdemeanour charges of assisting a criminal organisation and espionage. A Greek court has acquitted 16 aid workers and volunteers of charges connected with their efforts to rescue migrants making the dangerous sea crossing in small boats from neighbouring Turkey. The trial on the island of Lesbos on espionage and other charges had attracted international scrutiny, with rights groups accusing Greece of targeting the defendants for their humanitarian work. While arrivals have dropped in recent years, Lesbos remains a major landing point for migrants seeking a better life in Europe. On Tuesday, the Greek coast guard said two people died when a small migrant boat was wrecked on a rocky shore there during an overnight storm. It said 57 survivors made it onto land, while one more was reported missing. Tuesday's court ruling followed a proposal by the prosecution that all 16 defendants be acquitted, according to one of the defence lawyers, Haris Petsikos. “The prosecutor clearly said that there was no proof any of the defendants did anything illegal,” he said. “And the court agreed.” All had argued that they did nothing more than to assist people whose lives were at risk at sea. “These charges should never have been brought,” Petsikos told media outside the courthouse just after the decision.

Lilongwe Business Magnet Tonny Ngalande Acquitted
By Alfred Mthandizi
Renowned multi-billion Dollar Business Magnet who was arrested in the Capital City Lilongwe on allegations of indulging himself in buying and selling of Cross Border stolen vehicles, has been acquitted.
Lilongwe-based politician and business magnet Tony Ngalande was acquitted by the Lilongwe Magistrate Court over his charges involving stolen cars business. Police arrested Ngalande in February 2016 on allegations that he was being involved in Cross-Border motor vehicle thefts.
Delivering his ruling on Wednesday, His Worship First Grade Magistrate Arther Mtalimanja dismissed the case. Mtalimanja said the state has failed to prove beyond reason doubt on all accounts.
Some of the charges that Ngalande is acquitted include; bringing in goods acquired wrongly from outside the country. The state argued that for bringing into Malawi of property dishonestly acquired or stolen outside in accordance to Section 331 of the Penal Code was a serious offence because Chapter 7:01 of the Penal Code criminalizes the receiving or bringing into Malawi of property dishonestly acquired or stolen outside the country, an offence punishable by imprisonment for up to seven years.
The Magistrate maintained that there was no evidence to sustain the prosecution claim. Ngalande resigned from PP both as a member and as Deputy Director of Social Services to concentrate on his business but did not indicate leaving front line politics.
Ngalande, contesting on PP’s ticket in Balaka North Constituency, lost in the 2014 Parliamentary race to United Democratic Front (UDF) member Lucius Banda. Speaking to reporters soon after his acquittal, Ngalande said he was happy that the case has been concluded. “First of all let me thank God for all that has happened. Am very happy that this case has today been concluded,” said Ngalande.
