Tommy Robinson, the court case and (guffaw) 'free speech'

As an aside, how many times can a person be tried for the same thing? It seems odd to me that he won an appeal and was released, only to be tried again and found guilty. What changed between the time he won the appeal and was tried a second time?

Well the details of the appeal matter, and there are lots of times that a retrial will happen. In this case:

At the Court of Appeal, Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett ruled the case be reheard after identifying technical and other failings.

Robinson's solicitors said everyone has the "right to a fair hearing".

Tommy Robinson bailed after appeal win

Its a right to a fair hearing, not the right to avoid having a hearing.

Reckon you should stay away from the bookies. He was given 13 months before, served 2, so will probably get the other 11 or so

He also had a three-month suspended for doing exactly the same thing previously added to his tariff on the last conviction, which I presume will go back on this time too. He can’t really play the ignorance of the law card either because of the previous.

Hope they don’t make an example of him though because that plays into their martyr mythology.
