The Law is a Twit...

...to paraphrase the bloke who said 'The Law is an Ass'. I've just been listening to 'Law in Action' on Radio 4, link here http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/yqp9m/ , available for a few more days. They were talking about several seemingly important legal issues; one of which was the 'Twittering' that's going on outside the Courts about that nice, blonde, personable-looking young man who (to use typical legalese) on the one hand is an internet God. And yet, on the other hand, is alleged to have committed some heinous offences in Sweden. Now my knowledge of the Law is rudimentary at best; but can someone explain why this J.A. chap (even his initials are very similar to J.C.'s)can't go back to where he belongs (isn't that Australia?)At his own expense, of course; as I'm guessing he's made a few quid on this internet lark. Failing that, the video link to a possible trial in Sweden seems a good idea. Then, the whole thing will be public. After all, as a notorious 'secrets smasher', he should expect everyone to be taking an interest in the outcome of the trial. At least here, I've given the matter a little more deliberation than I might on Twitter, (Judgement pronounced in half-a-dozen words). The Internet makes twits of us all.
