- The court sentenced the group to a total of seven years and five months for conspiring to cause a public nuisance.
- During sentencing, some defendants expressed continued commitment to their cause and cited moral reasons for their actions.
I did feel morally compelled to act in the face of death. That remains the case and I stand by my motives for this.— Margaret Reid, during the court hearing regarding her motivations for the protest action.
