2 men accused of 150 year old ‘Robin Hood’ tree in England
Such was the fame that the 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince of Chors” and in September 2023 provoked widespread grief and anger in its flying.
Prosecutor Richard Wright told gamblers in the Newcastle Crown Court last month that 39 -year -old Daniel Graham and 32 -year -old Adam Karutors were responsible for “mindless barbarity”, experts and deliberately cutting it with a chainsaw.
About 2,000 years ago, the part of the Hadrian wall built by Roman was also damaged and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Graham and Karutars, who traveled to the site from their homes in the Karlisal region about 25 miles, denied any partnership at Northerland National Park. But he was convicted in two cases of criminal damage.
Men will be sentenced on 15 July.
Chief Crown Prosecutor Gayle Gilchrist said, “For more than a century, the Cyamore Gap has been a prestigious natural landmark in the northeast of England, which has provided irreversible pleasure for those going to the region.”
“Within just three minutes, Graham and Karutors ended their historical heritage in a deliberate and mindless work of destruction.”
During the test, the jury was shown a video of her “Moronic Mission”, which was shot on Graham’s mobile phone, shown a granular footage that was cut off the iconic tree.

The prosecution said that the men had taken a waters of the tree as a trophy and later they showed the messages sent to each other that they were “revelation” in the worldwide response to the incident. No explanation has been given for their functions.
The National Trust, a Heritage Protection Charity that takes care of the site, said that there were signs of life based on the tree in the last August, hoping it to be alive.
