They drove there in their own vehicle
They were seen on CCTV cameras going there and back
They turned off their phones around the time when the tree was cut down
They filmed it being cut down
They took a photo of a piece of the tree in the back of their car
They discussed it over text messages and voice notes as the media coverage picked up
** They pled not guilty** 🤣

Have you ever dealt with the court of law? You always plead guilty. Always.

There are very, very few scenarios where you dont.

  I was a juror on a trial and the guy involved clearly with several chicken nuggets short of a happy meal, like these two there was mountains of evidence against him including body cam footage from a police officer and he still pleaded not guilty.
  
  By the way his defence essentially amounted to, there were other people in the area who also had criminal records, so maybe they did it.

They’re also experienced tree fellers. Couldn’t make it up.
