Man 'hated' by 'Antifa' has jail sentence for sending 'grossly offensive' messages overturned
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Not guilty
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; Craig Fitzsimmons (51) said that people had allegedly threatened to kill his client if he were sent to prison and that the original trial judge should have made special provisions, instead of putting him at "great risk" with a custodial sentence. He was convicted and sentenced to two concurrent sentences of four months with two months suspended.
