From the moment Robinson was arrested outside the court in Leeds it was one farce after another... The Judge Marson trial took less time than the video so obviously, he had not fully examined the only real evidence he was about to find him guilty and sentence him to prison. For Judge Marson to lawfully find him guilty he would have to agree that the actions of Robinson did 'Substantially' impede or jeopardise an ongoing trial, that is the criteria for contempt when using strict liability as he did. That is clearly not the case as he did not divulge any information that was not already publically available,

One of the main reasons why the appeal judge quashed the sentence is because it was clear that Robinson was not given the opportunity to enter any plea, that is in the judgement (At least that one is accessible as Judge Marson's seems to have been lost somewhere), so no he did not plead guilty and his sentence was not reduced because of it.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Yaxley/Robinson this was a complete miscarriage of justice from start to finish and I am appalled that not a single member of the judiciary has had the balls to actually stand up and admit that. Law is the thread that holds the very fabric of society together and here in the UK that thread is fraying very thin due to instances like this and they seem to be becoming far more frequent.
