He got away, and they are mad:

“The sole basis of attribution was the Twitter profile name, the use of the word ‘barrister’ on the profile and then a search of the Bar Standards Board website to link to the suspect’s details. It was noted that there had been no attempt to obtain an account from the suspect to ascertain if he accepted responsibility for the questioned post. There was no other evidence provided to support the contention that the suspect must have been responsible for the Twitter account in question”.

The Crown Prosecution Service added: “In the absence of any evidence as to the contextual and literal meaning of the phrase ‘victory to the intifada’ the CPS considered that the contention by the Private Prosecutor that the statement glorified an existing and current terrorist act could not be established”.

Mr Braun asked: “If there can be a conviction, which there was, simply of a woman doing no more than having a picture of a paraglider on her back — a conviction under the Terrorism Act, how on earth can one not even be allowed to put before a judge a picture of the terrorists breaking through the fence into Israel, with the words ‘Victory to the intifada’?”

He said the Bar Standards ruling was “beyond woeful and totally irrational.” Noting that barristers were not supposed to act in a way which brought the profession into disrepute, Mr Braun said that “even if you concluded [Mr Magennis’s actions] were not in breach of the Terrorism Act, at the very least anybody reasonable would say they were offensive and likely to undermine confidence in the legal profession”.
