Men who were convicted of over 4 years in prison because he falsified the legendary tree


London – Two British men were sentenced to more than four years in prison on Tuesday Sycamore Gap Tree. The couple was found guilty in May of what a judge described as a “deliberate and senseless” act of testimony as an obvious joke.

Justice Christina Lambert condemned both Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers for four years and three months in prison on Tuesday at a hearing at the Newcastle Crown Court.

The tree stood in a picturesque valley in northern England for almost 200 years, right next to the remains of Hadrian's wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stone wall was built as a defense structure by the Roman occupiers of Great Britain almost 2,000 years ago, and the part of the wall in which the tree stood in a scene of the Hollywood blockbuster “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” from 1991, brought the Bukolische Fleck and the large tree a certain degree of international flags.

In two cases, a jury at the same court had condemned the former friends in two cases of criminal damage for their night weakening of the tree in 2023 to damage both the Sycamore Ahornbaum and the Roman wall. They had a possible maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

The organization of the National Trust Conservation Reay on the culpable judgment in May said that the “unnecessary due date” of the tree “shocked people across the country and in overseas”.

“It felt particularly deep here in north -east of England, where the tree was an emblem of the region and the backdrop for many personal memories,” said a spokesman.

The public prosecutor Richard Wright informed the court that the couple drove to the area near the city of Hexham in the night of September 27, 2023 in Graham's Range Rover, which fell the tree in the night of September 27, 2023 and cut through the trunk in “A -Massen from Minuten”.

“After completing their nonsense mission, the couple returned to the Range Rover and traveled back to Carlisle,” he said.

The Bergahne was a symbol of the northeast England and an important attraction that was photographed by millions of visitors over the years and won the Woodland Trust tree in 2016. Efforts are made to determine whether it can extend from its stump or seed.

The National Trust, to which the wall and the tree belong, said that he had grown 49 seedlings from the seeds of the Sycamores, which will be planted at locations in Great Britain this winter

A section of the trunk, which is over six feet long, now forms the heart of an art installation on a permanent display in a visitor center near the Sycamore gap tree. According to the visitor center, people can see and touch part of the trunk and gather again, sit and reflect “.
