“It is five years since the jurors filed back into the Old Bailey to give their verdict in what has become known as the ‘ricin plot’ trial. After a six-month trial, 17 days of deliberations, and an estimated £20m of taxpayers’ money, four defendants were acquitted and the fifth was found guilty of the lesser charge of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.”
