Not guilty verdict in Twitter harassment case

The court ruling can be found at http://www.canlii.org/en/on/oncj/doc/2016/2016oncj35/2016onc... -- I submitted the news story because it's rather more readable than the source judgment.

I find this case interesting because it shows some of the challenges courts run into when dealing with digital and online evidence; for example:

    At one point during the testimony of Ms. Reilly, Crown counsel
    tried to open the link to one of the tweets on the disk and could
    not because Ms. Reilly had locked her account and made it private
    the day before she testified. Therefore the Crown, the police, the
    Court and the defendant could only see a screen that said, “Sorry:
    you’re not authorized to see the status.” Ms. Reilly unlocked her
    account and the trial continued.

This is good news. You can't allow people to convict each other of being wrong, not without taking away their chance to truly learn.

I just learned about the SJW yesterday (yes I'm out of touch on the web). They must be going absolutely nuts over this decision. (I am not expressing an opinion on anything).
