    That’s a start, but on its own pretty meaningless. A suspended sentence means he does not go to prison, so long as he behaves himself for a year or however long.

    The article doesn’t go into it, but I hope he was also fined heavily. All we have is “the court determined it could not be resolve through fines, a prison sentence is warranted”.





  • Yeah I know, however when you reply to someone from a notification you just want to reply.

    Also, when you move up the context on a Lemmy thread you see each comment and all its other comments. If the comment chain you’re replying on isn’t the top thread, then you get cluttered up with all the others. On reddit, context meant you only saw the comments that directly lead to the comment you were deriving context from. Furthermore, context was derived from the comment URL with a ?context=3 suffix, so you could easily specify how far up the chain you wanted to go.

    Lemmy does context differently, but I prefer reddit’s method.


  • Before the trial happens, it could really go either way, even if the defendant is obviously in the right - there could be some procedural slip up that causes them to lose anyway.

    However, a lawyer isn’t going to assume that they will make some slip up, so if it is obviously in the defendant’s favour they will work pro bono. There is still some risk for them, because if they lose they don’t get paid, but they’re confident they’ll win.

    Edit: wrote the reply thinking this was a conversation about awarding costs to the defendant, that was a different thread. The first paragraph remains unchanged though.

    I wish Lemmy showed you more of the context than just the last reply.
