    Are you claiming no appeals court had ever ruled someone was exercising free speech after a lower court jailed them? Lol

      you’re using the world jailed to mean arrested or charged, that’s now what we are talking about. anyone can be put in jail for no reason for 24 hours. that doesn’t mean much.

        You can be sentenced and appeal from jail stranger. You don’t just sit free if you have an appeal. It’s extremely situational.
