Judge shows leniency to racist Terry Fitzpatrick
Having been convicted of racially aggravated harassment the Judge at Snaresbrook crown court showed great leniency by not automatically imprisoning Terry Fitzpatrick. Instead he will receive a nine months suspended prison sentence.
The Judge also gave an injunction that Fitzpatrick should not contact or write about Lee Jasper, myself or OBV directly or indirectly.
Simon Woolley stated,
‘ I hope we can all find closure after this long running saga. This case was not just about the long standing racist threats and abuse made by Fitzpatrick, it was also about those websites that too readily gave him sanctuary and at times encouragement to stir racial hatred. About Fitzpatrick, I have no comment to make except that I hope this is last we at OBV hear of him’.
