“Just a case of playing Devil’s advocate for website judge”
Frances Gibb, Legal Editor
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A spokesman for the Judicial Communications Office added: “The judge knew perfectly well what a website was. He was in a sense playing Devil’s advocate, asking the questions that a member of the jury might want to ask.”
After the judge’s comments the court was treated on Thursday to a PowerPoint demonstration by the computer expert giving evidence, Peter Sams. He explained that the internet was a “complex communication system” and “you need to log into the system through a telephone cable or perhaps a television cable”. The professor then explained the terms “dial-up” and “broadband”.
In the trial the defendants – Younis Tsouli, 23, Waseem Mughal, 24, and Tariq al-Daour, 21, who deny the charges – are accused of helping to distribute Islamic propaganda over the internet in support of al-Qaeda. Mr Tsouli, of West London, is said to have had links to an al-Qaeda group in Iraq. The trial continues.”
