Palestine Action activist says he used sledgehammer to protect co-defendant during Elbit Systems factory protest

Samuel Corner, 23, is on trial at Woolwich Crown Court accused of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Sgt Kate Evans during a Palestine Action protest at the Elbit Systems arms factory in Filton, near Bristol, on 6 August 2024. Corner claims he struck the officer with a sledgehammer to protect a co-defendant he believed was being seriously hurt by security guards. He says he was panicked after being sprayed with Pava spray and heard screaming. The officer's spine was fractured. Corner, who is autistic and a former University of Oxford student, denies all charges alongside five co-defendants.
