A "conditional discharge" you mean?

Wiki:

a conditional discharge is a sentence vitiating the finding of guilt in which the offender receives no punishment if in a period set by the court (not more than three years), no further offence is committed

 

Hardly the same thing as guilty. Definitely not jail time.

To quote from the article you provided

Outside court, Rooke said the case had been a ‘score draw’ since the judge had looked at the evidence - albeit in private - and had decided not to fine him.

It's about the record and standing up for your beliefs.

Court costs are hardly the same thing as a fine and he no doubt spent more on his legal team.

 

What are they going to do if everyone stops paying? Anyone choosing to stand up and fight "legally" now has precedent and can all cite this as case law.

BOOM.

It never ceases to amaze me how hard the shills try to control the narrative, how they immediately discount the evidence provided with just a sliver of MSM as their rebuttal.

BTW I provided a full length professional documentary, not a podcast. But you'd want to discredit that too I suppose.

Yes, which is what I said. Here is a proper cited definition. Again, the judge sentenced him to 6 months imprisonment, then said the court would waive the penalty if he paid 200 pounds, which he did. It is still a finding of guilt.

Hardly the same thing as guilty. Definitely not jail time.

A finding of guilt (you have to be found guilty before you can be sentenced, as he was) isn't even remotely related to 'won'.

It doesn't help their case unless the finding was of not guilty/responsible, which it wasn't.
