How can you possibly go on social media and call someone a "peado guy" and not be libelling him?

The law is an absolute ass. So unfair. angry

I believe that, having heard all the evidence, the jury were unanimous in their decision. My knee-jerk reaction was to think ‘Musk has got away with it’. However, on reading the case more closely, the jury may well have made the correct decision. Wading in and assuming Musk’s money was the deciding factor without looking at the detail is wrong.

I read in the paper today it was because Musk didn’t name Mr Unsworth directly in his tweet although that’s what everyone thought. I feel very sorry for him (Mr Unsworth that is)
