Verdict is Guilty.
I would ask for reflection before those that attended the hearing start posting. I have sat very much on the fence, and even Olly has said in a police interview he may have over stepped the mark with what he posted on twitter.
This is not all about free speech as some of us may think, myself included, and there are two sides to every story.
Just imagine how you would feel if you was this situation was aimed at you. And yes, no one was named in Olly's tweet, and no ones address was given, and one has to remember its not all about free speech.
Yes you can still call me a C***, and you can call me a W******, thats fine. But thats not all that this case was about.
And like many out there i have jumped on the death of free speech band wagon, but there was more to this case. And Olly was not just charged with calling a councilor a C***. Had that charge been before the court, then yes, IMHO free speech would of taken a blow.
Just a little reflection, and taking a balanced approach now the dust has settled (ish)
