Overview

• A jury at Swindon Crown Court acquitted Morgan of all charges after two hours of deliberation
• He had phoned Badbury Park Primary on February 25 while litter picking nearby to ask if students were 'back home or in school'
• The receptionist misheard his Welsh accent as 'bomb in school' and assumed he spoke with an Indian or Pakistani accent, making his words unintelligible
• Police evacuated the school for six hours, established a 200-metre cordon and deployed specialist officers and sniffer dogs to search the premises
• The verdict has led to calls for improved training for school receptionists and emergency dispatchers to verify unclear calls and prevent accent-based misunderstandings
