Will Easton be jailed

Paul Easton at Stuff reports:

Serial protester has been warned he could face jail, after failing to complete community work for bashing a Wellington street with a sledgehammer.

Easton appeared in the Wellington District Court today, after finishing just five of 80 hours community work for disorderly behaviour and endangering public safety.

I'm surprised Easton hasn't managed to do 80 hours of community service. It is not as if he doesn't have the time to do it, as you know having a job is uncool.

Easton replied that a jail sentence would not be “in the public interest.”

He had lodged a fresh appeal against the convictions with the , he said.

Judge Butler said jailing Easton would be premature, considering the new appeal.

I'm pretty confident what the results of the appeal will be!
