Original Note:
Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred. There was therefore no need for a trial. As she pled guilty, she was then sentenced. Ricky Jones pled not guilty and hence went to trial. The jury found him not guilty. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Lucy-Connolly-v-The-King.pdf https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/sep/06/suspended-labour-councillor-ricky-jones-denies-encouraging-violent-disorder https://news.sky.com/story/ricky-jones-suspended-labour-councillor-who-called-for-protesters-throats-to-be-cut-at-rally-not-guilty-of-encouraging-violent-disorder-13412060 https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/sites/default/files/documents/Factsheet-role-jury-criminal-trial-2024.pdf
