Exactly. This is an attempt to re-run the case, to say the jury was somehow intimidated because of tweets being sent. It is absolute nonsense. People need to accept that they did not get the result they perhaps might have liked, that they did not manage to criminalise protest, because a jury saw through what was happening. It is of a piece with what is happening in the attempts to re-run the case to say people were terrorised by what the Taoiseach said.
