Jailed for making notes about bombs?

Man jailed for 15 years on terror charges

On the balance of probabilities, I think the guy's a wrongun. But beyond reasonable doubt?

Jailed for making notes about bombs argues that he was just a nutter with an Al-Qaeda fixation, unlikely to actually do anything. Maybe.

Well, a jury not prepared to convict on the socks thought it was. Having a one-time pad was a major reason for the conviction of an Eastern block spy in the 1990s, after all.

My bets are a) it will go to appeal, b) the conviction will be upheld and c) the sentence will be reduced.
