We tweeted about the verdict pretty much as soon as it got out yesterday, so here's a few more of the details surrounding John Galliano's trial. The ex-Dior creative director was found guilty of racism and anti-semitism by the French court, although as we tweeted yesterday, he won't be serving any jail time. Anti Semitic comments in France usually lead to a six month stint in prison and/or a fine but John Galliano escaped a jail sentence because he apologised to the victims profusely.
JG initially was given a fine of €4,000, which was later suspended and a revised fine of €2,000 was issued. Galliano wasn't present at the hearing but he is said to be relieved with the verdict. Do you think the judge's final decision was fair?
