Is this justice?

What would you think if a man was convicted of a racially aggravated offence where there was no victim present at the trial, the sole witness wasn’t 100% sure of what she heard and received an award for reporting the case before the case even got to court?

I don’t know about you but I would think it shouldn’t have even got to court. This sorry state of affairs actually happened though. Why did the witness get an award? Why did the man get convicted? The answer to both questions is that the convicted man was a member of the BNP.
