Not Finished...
fair enough l should have read your earlier post but with the way it was reported on radio l thought it sounded like the end of it.
The court case involving the farm worker is possibly over for now unless more charges are found, I would say IMO there are still some others left to fry, the ones who gave the instructions to the farm hand to kill the birds, and if any threats were given to the farm hand if he refused.
Not a good idea to have this guys name all over social media his lawyers will play the victim card if threats are made.
His name was released by ABC news, no one here has jeopardized anything. The farm hand has been charged and no restriction has been applied by the courts suppressing the offenders identification.

Well aware of that but if further charges arise and keyboard heroes start making threats it may impact on decisions made in court down the track.

l agree we don't need "keyboard heroes" making threats or being vigilantes but l think the public need to made aware of anyone who has done the wrong thing regardless of what the crime is as long as it is not something petty and l think this whole story is pretty bad otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it.

The owner will claim he knew nothing
"Need you to increase lamb survival rate", never told you to poison eagles
Sylvester will be deported after giving evidence again the owner
Defence will say "when the owner found out what he was doing, he was sacked"
He only fested up after an argument with the owner
IMO there will be no or token chargers against the owner, unless he admits them
A disgruntled employee making up stories

That's why there are criminal records, so the people who need to know can do a police check and the people who don't need to know aren't tempted to reach for the torches and pitchforks

I think making him ingest the same poison he used on the eagles would be a fit punishment...

Did I say that? No, I’m saying spreading his name around on social media is a bad idea because other people might not share your restraint.
