benefit of what doubt?Had the Tea Party or the John Birch Society done the sort of damage seen in the OP you would be calling for the death penalty. But since Green Pee did it you sound almost apologetic. Do you not find that somewhat hypocritical?Gee, we can repair the Sistine Chapel and Eqyptian tombs and all other great art heritage works but somehow not a single person anywhere can repair this damage?
As an Independent I would have given them the same benefit of the doubt and looked at the evidence before I jumped to any conclusions.
Peruvian court gave GP the benefit of the doubt too by dismissing the charges.
They did? Where has that been reported? So far there have been no charges levied against anyone as Greenpeace has refused to give up the names of the perpetrators. Here is more recent drone and on the ground video showing the extensive damage.

"The Nazca figures were drawn between 500 BC and 500 AD by removing a thin patina of dark rocks covering light sand. This is one of the driest regions of the world, and the lack of water and wind has helped preserve the lines for centuries.
But they're still quite fragile. "When you step on it, you simply break the patina and expose the bottom surface," said Peru's Deputy Culture Minister Luis Jaime Castillo . "How long does it take for nature….to again create a patina? Hundreds of years? Thousands of years? We really don't know."
When archaeologists visit the site, they wear special pads on their shoes [below] to broadly distribute their weight. By contrast, photos taken by Peru's culture ministry showed footprints and overturned rocks, allegedly by Greenpeace demonstrators."
