I managed to watch the court of Mann’s trial. I’m not sure even Mann’s own lawyer believed he could win let alone the judges.
Mann’s lawyer’s argument: “there might be some law somewhere that might support what I say and if I could show it to you I’m sure you might think about it”.
Against Mann – “if this went to court not a single newspaper in the land could comment on any matter of public interest without being liable to being sued.”
I was hoping this would go to trial. From what I saw, it would be a very brave judge near retirement who would let this one go to court.
