A teenager from Brighton is due to go on trial next year charged with having a plan to carry out a terrorist attack at a synagogue.
Mason Reynolds, 18, of Moulsecoomb Way, Brighton, denies a charge of having an article for the purpose of terrorism.
Reynolds, who is currently remanded in custody at Lewes Prison, must stay behind bars while he awaits his trial, set for next April.
This morning (Friday 4 August) he appeared by video link from the prison at the Central Criminal Court, better known as the Old Bailey, in London.
Reynolds was accused of having a note setting out a plan to attack a synagogue.
He appeared before Sir Jeremy Baker, known as Mr Justice Jeremy Baker, where the teenager entered a plea of not guilty.
He was alleged to have an article for terrorist purposes between Sunday 7 May and Tuesday 27 June when he was arrested.
The details of the charge alleged that he had a “note detailing a plan to attack a synagogue”.
Mr Justice Jeremy Baker set a provisional trial date at Winchester Crown Court from Wednesday 10 April next year.
He told Reynolds that there would be a further hearing on Monday 8 December and he remanded him in custody.
We read in history books about the Gestapo picking up Resistance fighters for having incriminating pieces of paper in their pockets. So this teenager is being jailed for a year for reading. I’ve got a book in my loft from school in the 1970’s about Churchill’s plans to fight back against a German occupation. It has all sorts of diagrams and instructions in it. Will the Police have an amnesty so we can hand in prohibited books to be burnt? Although the saying goes; “first they burn books, then they burn people. ” Viva La Resistance.
Maybe you should read the article again. Reynolds was accused of having a note setting out a plan to attack a synagogue.
The Article implies he ‘had a note’. Not overly specific but would suggest it’s not a freely available book but a hand written objective? It’s certainly interesting though as I once(when admittedly drunk) done a sketch on how to break into the bank of Englands vaults using a machine from War of the Worlds, am I subject to a custodial sentence??
This is my nephew it’s rubbish someething he found funny shared with a friend and went horribly wrong he isn’t a terrorist just sick joke
Kayleigh Chessell, ex-wife of convicted murderer Carlo Dawes, found at trial to have given inconsistent evidence? That Kayleigh Chessell?
I’ll take your comments with a pinch of salt.
