Regardless of what you think of him, I think that the press has a right to know about trials that are going on. There should not be press blackouts and media bans on reporting ongoing trials that are underway. I do think he is a racist, but in the US, the thing that rocketed him to recent fame would never have happened. In the US we are allowed to know about trials and the media is allowed report on them when they are happening.

Tommy nearly caused the trial to collapse and for those rapists to get away.
I don't see how the act of one man filming the outside of a courthouse from the street can cause a trial to collapse. And nothing I see online backs up that claim. In the US there is no danger of a trial collapsing if I film a courthouse from the sidewalk outside of it, it is my absolute right to do so.

Well it's the UK isn't it? They're a little ahead of you.
