Cussing Canoeist

Im my opinion the jury did not do justice to Timothy Boomer. The jury found him guilty of breaking a law of cussing in front of children. First of all the number of times the jury convicted of him saying the F word is ridiculous. They said he yelled the F word 75 times before he fell out of his raft. On the other hand Boomer's friends and family who were with him said he only said it two or three times. A person should not be indicted on such a crime. I agree with Timothy Boomer's attorney when he argued that Boomer's speech was covered by the 1st amendment, which gives the people of the United States the freedom of speech. This entire case seems silly to me, it is not that series. It's especially not important enough to get national attention.
