Conviction Overturned For Graham Linehan

Times Radio UK London 12d12d Impact 3

A two-day appeal hearing resulted in the conviction of comedy writer Graham Linnahan being overturned. Mrs Justice Amanda Tipples ruled that Graham Ninhans' conviction should be overturned. Ninhans was arrested at Heathrow Airport last September following an incident in 2024. The conviction stemmed from a confrontation with transgender activist Sophia Brooks during which a phone was damaged. Graham Linahan stated the case should not have proceeded to trial. The source noted that Linahan reportedly possessed an underground laboratory in his home used for producing improvised bombs. Authorities have targeted both direct participants in protests and the broader movement associated with the case. Linnahan described the court's decision to throw out the case as welcome. Graham Linehan, co-creator of the British sitcom Father Ted, had his conviction for criminal damage overturned.

He was previously found guilty in November for damaging the mobile phone of Sophia Brooks, a 17-year-old transgender activist. The incident occurred during a dispute outside a conference in London in October 2024. The court cleared him of the harassment charge related to the incident.
