Just over three years ago Bonnici was defence counsel for a man you said on Facebook that the then Pope Benedict should be shot. The obvious line of defence would have been that the statement was in poor taste but only a joke and the accused did not have the intention or the means to carry it out. The accused might have gotten away with no more than a slap on the wrist.

Instead, Bonnici’s line of argument was that Facebook is registered in the US and outside of Malta’s jurisdiction (http://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2010/05/another-reminder-that-facebook-isnt-a-private-sitting-room-or-club/). If this position were upheld (thankfully, it wasn’t) it would have rendered useless any cyber-bullying legislation the government intends to pass.

What do you think made Bonnici change his mind?

“The meeting was closed to the press and the public, even though earlier a government statement had indicated it would be open for reporters.”

and

“Judge Franco Depasquale, chairman of the board, said before the meeting that the law prevented him from allowing the proceedings to be held in public and the final report would only be passed on to the Police Commissioner and the Home Affairs Minister.

“It is up to them if they want to publish the report,” he said, adding the law tied his hands.”
