Ricky Jones case should not be compared to Lucy Connolly, lawyer says
He claimed that a jury’s decision to clear a suspended workers’ council member to promote severe disorder after asking for the cut of the throats of extreme right activists could not be compared with the Lucy Connolly case.
Ricky Jones, 58 -year -old, was tried in Snaresbrook Crown Court after describing the extreme right activists as “disgusting Nazi fascists, after Southport murders last year.
On August 7, 2024, Walthamstow, surrounded by supporters who cheered in East London, is currently decorated with the Assembly Member: “Nazi fascists are disgusting. We must cut all their throats and get rid of them all.”
The jury members met for more than an hour and did not find him guilty on Friday.
This caused conservative and reform politicians to brand the “two-layer justice” decision-GÖLGE EV Secretary Chris Philp compared the case with Mrs. Connolly, who was sentenced to 31 months of imprisonment after releasing a tweet of asylum seekers to “deportation deportation”.
Former Interior Minister and Toray leadership candidate Sir James wisely called the jury Ricky Jones in an X article and added the following, adding the following, adding the following: “People are adding the belief that there is no passionate criminal justice system.”
Lawyers said Connolly and Jones should not be limited as they encountered different allegations, and Jones was tried that Connolly, whom he claimed to be guilty, was not tried.
“Besides (Jones and Connolly), Peter Stringfellow, a lawyer at Brett Wilson, said unpleasant things.
“However, it is a problem that the two of them come from now on. In my opinion, it comes from people with a kind of political agenda.
“They were faced with completely different claims, and most of these different claims are racial elements.
“If you look at the Connolly case,… His intention is racial.”
Connolly was found guilty of encouraging racial hatred by publishing and distributing materials written and distributing the materials written to X “threatening or abusive” last year.
On July 29 last year, he said: “Now the mass deportation opened fire on all F ****** hotels full of bastards for everything I care about… If this makes me racist.”
“He directs everyone to the fact that it is a racial interpretation, Mr. Stringfellow said.
“He claims to be guilty of this intention.
“The Jones case is different because one faces a completely different claim: he encourages violent disorder.
“And the difference with him is: ‘This is not what I aim to do.”
In the case of Connolly, Mr. Stringfellow added that racial aggravated discourse on social media has turned into real -life violence throughout the country, whereas Mr. Jones’ interpretations of a rally did not cause a violent disorder.
“What he did (Connolly) did, what followed his comments about burning people in hotels, at that time, at that time, and people were trying to burn people in hotels.”
He said that the comparisons between Ernest Adewa, partner of Stockoe Partnership lawyers, Jones and Connolly, were “incorrectly placed”.
Uz We must be honest about what’s going on here. The decision in the Ricky Jones case was not political, it was legal. ”
“A jury listened, tested the evidence, and decided that he was not guilty unanimously.
“This is the system of justice that does what it needs to do, not the prejudice or ‘two-layer justice’: separating the facts from noise.
“Comparisons with Lucy Connolly case were incorrectly placed.
“Lucy Connolly claimed to be guilty. There was no trial, cross examination, jury. He accepted the special crime: Confusing online racial hatred.
“Ricky Jones faced a different crime… With a high burden of proof.
“The jury decided that the crown had not met him.
“This does not mean that the protest is not passionate or noisy – this means that there is not enough evidence to provoke violence. This distinction is important.
Orum I understand why emotions are rising. However, straightening two different situations to a misleading narrative does not do justice.
“In a protest, a black man’s ability to get a fair trial and acquittal should not be seen as an injustice, but the system can still be right as evidence.”
“The law is not perfect, but it should be based on evidence, not opinion, pressure or politics.”
Hodge, Jones and Allen Lawyers’ Protest and Public Order Team Chairman Laura Allen, the two cases to make different decisions to be made in the legal contexts and claim that the jury did not act in accordance with ordinary members, he said.
If there is something close to a two -layer system in the British justice sector, according to Mrs. Allen, it is historically a system that yorumlı does not prefer ethnic minorities ”, although studies have been done to try to repair it.
When a judge said he was guilty, he decided to sentence Connolly, while a jury listened to the evidence during the hearing and did not find him guilty.
Allen said that they are only two different things and it is not possible to compare them as they choose to make them as part of the political size of Nigel Farage, ”Allen said.
He said: “He (Farage) suggests that these 12 people, who I think they don’t know anything, decide not about evidence, but about another preliminary motion.
“They listened to the evidence in the case of 12 members of the jury, who performed their civilian duties, and concluded that they were not sure that Ricky Jones were guilty.
“Because of the way of our jury system, it is not necessary to explain the reasons for its decisions and is absolutely not allowed.”
“All we know is that we don’t find the jury Ricky Jones guilty. We don’t know why. We don’t know the political past of these people. We don’t know their views on migration or race.
“We don’t know any of these things and that’s the whole point.”
