Lucy Connolly, during her trial, expressed a cavalier attitude towards her incendiary tweet stating it had 'bitten me on the arse', showing a lack of remorse.
Prosecutor Naeem Valli highlighted Connolly's intention to spread racial hatred through social media, emphasizing her comments on asylum seekers and her use of humor to belittle serious topics.
Judge Melbourne Inman KC clarified that Connolly's sentence aimed to serve as both a punishment and a deterrent, stressing the seriousness of her actions in a volatile context.
Defending barrister Liam Muir maintained that Connolly's behavior was distinct from other offenders as she did not incite violence but expressed her harmful views at a precarious time.
