Very fast is an understatement.
I can only say that it sure looks like he broke the suspension on that sentence
So its hard for me imagine him getting away on technicalities with it
Being denied a lawyer or having the state interfere in justice proceedings is hardly a technicality
It's very easy for me
This is a full blown case of criminal mistrial.
He was denied the right to legal council, literally a right equally fundamental to a fair trial as the very concept of 'innocent until proven guilty'
This is not a case of 'oh, his name was spelled 'Tomy' on the official documents so it's mistrial, he goes free'
Well but can you throw the case on those grounds is what i am asking. Because he did broke that suspension and filmed himself doing that
Yes.
Well it will be interesting watching that
In any properly functioning legal system, not only would you be able to throw the case, you would be able to get the judge -barred from office-
Well it did look strange
You'd be able to get so much money in reparations their grand children would still be paying you
Fast track trial with media blackout
But the core of the case
Him breaking the suspension is valid
Again, that wasn't properly established.
Unfortunately
It wasnt properly establiahed but even i can see it happened
Irrelevant what someone can 'see' happening.
You mean everyone
You can have literally millions of eye witnesses, someone is -innocent- until the opposite is proven by due process in a court of law.
True
Thats the reason why he got into trouble in the first place afterall
But you have to admit that in propper trial he would lose
Again, doubtful, as I've seen plenty of arguments as to why he's innocent.
Why ?
I have seen arguments why the law is bad
But none to why he could not have break it
He arguably wasn't reporting from court property, I've seen people claim he wasn't reporting on the case, and merely using the courthouse as a backdrop...
Come now 😀
Thats very weak
If any of this is true or not, I dunno, we've not had a proper trial to establish the facts.
No but we can have opinion
And he clearly did reported on the case
In real time
During court proceedings
Thats the problem
To paraphrase Jean-Luc Picard: "A trial is a crucible, in it we burn away irrelevancies until we are left with a pure product: The truth." This 'crucible' was tainted, willingly so, and as such, to protect the concept of innocent until proven guilty, a mistrial must be declared and Tommy has to walk free. His guilt is, due to the actions taken against him, utterly irrelevant now.
