Tourist jailed for throwaway threat on Qantas plane
"Thomas John Lilico, 22, sat in the dock of Cairns Magistrates Court yesterday with his head in his hands and was led out crying after magistrate Ken Lynn sentenced him to three months' jail, suspended after one month, followed by a 12-month, $300 good behaviour bond."
Surely a draconian penalty for a casual remark?
