But lo and behold, the clouds parted on a rather auspicious Thursday when the Criminal Court gracefully handed down a verdict as smooth as the crepes associated with her moniker. Much to the joy of free speech advocates and internet personalities, the verdict was plastered with the powerful word “acquitted.” The echo of this proclamation had far-reaching implications, not just within the hallowed virtual corridors of social media, but also in the stern face of the law.
