>>The contempt of court sentence is based on the idea that Tommy Robinson published information that could prejudice a trial.

He was streaming footage from outside the courthouse.

Was it something he particularly said that would prejudice the trial? Or merely covering it as an observer on the street?

Should the block be closed off so that no one accidentally sees the courthouse during the trial?

Were the jurors watching he stream?

I don’t know much about his history, I’d have figured the contempt of court charge was based on a previous agreement with the court (as when people are prohibited from using facebook, etc.).

Contempt of court is cited as the reason Robinson was given a 13 month sentence..........

—

Courts sometimes earn their contempt. The whole point of Joe Average serving on a jury and being responsible for determining guilt or innocence and in some cases nullifying a charge based on the jurors own sense of justice, is to prevent courts and governments from running roughshod over the public.

That a UK court would put someone in jail for a year, no trial, no jury, and then demand the public shut up is a sign of a government that is corrupt and unaccountable.

BREAKING NEWS:  MEDIA OUTLETS IN UK NOW CAN PUBLISH COURT INFORMATION ON TOMMY ROBINSON

Journalists in the UK reportedly challenged the publication ban and can now report on what happened in court in Leeds last Friday.

Stories are now appearing online.

Contempt of court is cited as the reason Robinson was given a 13 month sentence.

The reports claim Robinson admitted to it but he did not have his lawyer with him only a court appointed one.  Sentence came just hours after his arrest and was done in a summary manner without due process.

The contempt of court sentence is based on the idea that Tommy Robinson published information that could prejudice a trial.

That is all for now.........
