Sure, Tommy probably broke whatever shit law resulted in his suspended sentence being reinstanted (and them some), but that doesn't make TR wrong, it makes the law wrong, and the UK govt should be ashamed of themselves

and then put the media blackout on HIS situation on top of that

break law get owned not bitch

DeadpoolGod thanks for adding important information to this conversation

@Deadpool I think you'll find you're going to the the vast minority in this conversation, or you're trolling

The UK gov has laws that make everything ilegall

that way they can prosecute anyone at any time

either which you're wasting your time and ours, but I appreciate your ability to make your points

btw that guy in the stream the other day said we dont have jury selection in the UK - we do have jusry selection - the lawyers cant choose individual members but they can call for a new jury before the trial starts if they want

Did tommy even have his lawyer

what would happen is, they pick 18 people from the "main room" where we are all put between cases... then when we get to the court room, they pick 12 of us, and the 6 go back to the main room

From what i heard, no

I heard they sent missinformation to his lawyer so he couldnt help Tommy

that's what happens here too

except lawyers can choose to NOT have someone based on some attribute or if the juror is found to not be impartial due to some reason they can be removed

then backups come in, so that there are always 12 total

but they can't PICK who they want, and they can't keep cycling until they like everyone on the jury, but they have some leeway, on the prosecution and defence

also, it doesn't matter

Tommy was a journalist, covering something the the media wasn't... and he got arrested

yes he broke whatever shit law it was

yeah they can choose to remove someone but I think theres some speicial request they have to go through or something

but still shit law and yall should be really upset right now

also this is disturbing if true

basically judge knew TR would be in danger, but didn't care... "so what"

yeah i saw that... its slightly out of context but was stupid to say

Enforcing that law in that case is ilegitimate

because 1: There was no reason why the public should not know that the grooming happened

and 2: I dont think Tommy was informed of this

hes saying he doesnt care because he will be in protective custody the whole time

"you could be put into protective custody"

What’s the difference between all the journalists outside the court when count dankula was being tried and the grooming gang case?

not that he would

I'd understand a gag law being enforced in a critical matter

like an inminent terrorist attack or something

I think the blackout was that there were so many defendants that they couldn't try them all at once and didn't want the outcome of the first trial affecting the second one

hence the blackout

but still, how would TR know he couldn't do what he did

he was media

he was covering an event

and he got arrested
