I agree that the charge should never have been laid by the police/CPS but, having been brought to court, the conviction and the appeal decision,whilst questionable, were not as outrageous as so many people believe. http://bit.ly/cUuLa9 In reply to Richie Chapman, it most certainly should not have gone to a jury. I am convinced that most benches of magistrates would have brought in a not guilty verdict but you are wrong in your assessment of magistrates. Please note though that this case was originally tried by a district judge and not three magistrates.
