David Keogh and Leo O'Connor Found Guilty *UPDATED*
I suppose it shouldn't come as much of a surprise but it's sad news nonetheless. David Keogh and Leo O'Connor, the two suspects in the trial over the leaking of the al Jazeera memo have been found Guilty. Very few details are known about the trial as much of the evidence was heard in secret and the judge has warned the jury not to disclose any of this information.
He said: "The information you heard in camera, including the contents of the letter and what was said by witnesses about the consequences of the disclosure of the letter, remain confidential - it remains secret."
The surprise is that both men were found guilty. I suspected David Keogh would be convicted but Leo O'Connor merely passed the memo on to his boss. Peter Kilfoyle who admitted passing on details of the alleged plan to bomb al Jazeera in Qatar, will escape prosecution. Perhaps one day the contents of the memo will be leaked and when they are, we will publish them.

*UPDATE*
Both men have been given jail terms. David Keogh received a six month sentence and Leo O'Connor has been sentenced to three months in prison. Those are fairly lenient sentences, it could have been two years.

It's beyond even an, 'I am shocked, shocked' joke . . . because at the end of the day, so very sadly, few people are.
As Blairwatch notes: 'Very few details are known about the trial as much of the evidence was heard in secret"
This is 1930s Stalin-Beria style justice. No other way to describe it.
A protest waiting to happen?
If it's any consolation,
If it's any consolation, they should get off fairly lightly - actually prosecuting them at all is barking as it just makes everyone go 'wtf is so secret that we can't be told'. Even Radio 5 picked up on that - it was rather amusing listening them trying to make a story out of so little, but they didn't pick up on the absurdity that you can get a criminal record just for being sent something.
How can anyone respect the
How can anyone respect the 'law' or 'justice' of a regime that protects traitors by criminalising those who (attempt to) expose them?
