Re: A twitter jailed for C word on facebook is this erosion of freedom speach?

Hmmm.

Quote:
What is striking is that despite the defence requesting for sentencing to be decided to today, the District Judge instead decided to set a sentencing hearing at Bromley Magistrates Court on Wednesday 9th May at 13:30, with a representative of the Probation service present. This raises a question as to whether a custodial sentence may be given. An offence under s127 of the Communication Acts 2003 can lead to a custodial sentence of up to 6 months.
Surely this means he hasn't been jailed yet which makes the thread heading even more misleading?

Anyway whilst the "Ooooh he said something nasty on a computer" brigade are a bit of a joke this seems like a culmination of a long running campaign rather than a single tweet involving a bit of (very) bad language.
