Amos Yee's bailor is family and youth counsellor Mr Vincent Law, 51. -
Amos Yee, who has three lawyers now, has been bailed out by a counsellor
By Amir Hussain
SINGAPORE - Amos Yee, the 16-year-old whose online rants against Christianity have landed him in trouble with the law, is out on bail after spending four nights in remand.
Yee was brought from the court lockup to the bail centre at 6pm in handcuffs and leg shackles, escorted by five auxiliary police officers and three police officers.
His bailor is Mr Vincent Law, 51, a family and youth counsellor.
Said Mr Law: "I'm a Christian and it seems that the charge said that he made disparaging remarks against Christianity. I'm a Christian and I'm stepping up to say that I'm not offended."
"I'm also a parent and I feel for his parents."
He added that he hopes Yee is willing to be counselled by him, and reckons the youth may "respond better to a third party", especially since he is a counsellor.
Yee also has three lawyers representing him pro bono now.
Lawyer Alfred Dodwell told District Judge Ronald Gwee that he would be representing Yee along with lawyers Chong Jia Hao and Ervin Tan.
Mr Dodwell also told the court that someone was on the way to post bail for the teenager, who had been in remand since last Friday after his parents did not post bail.
The lawyer got in touch with Yee's parents two days ago.
Speaking to reporters later, Mr Dodwell said the lawyers are representing Yee because of his age and because "we believe everybody needs legal representation".
He said they did not condone or approve of what Yee did, but wanted to provide him with "proper legal representation so that he can be advised of the three charges" that he is facing.
The lawyers also handed out a statement to reporters, explaining why they were acting for him. It said that "the fundamental tenets of access to justice is enhanced if any person - including a 16 year-old accused of criminal offences - is represented by lawyers, instead of being left to navigate the criminal justice system without legal representation".
The statement also said the lawyers would advise Yee on his bail conditions; on whether pleading guilty or innocent would be the most appropriate course of action; and on sentencing options available to the court including those that deal with young offenders.
District Judge Ronald Gwee set the teen's next pre-trial conference for April 30.
Yee was charged on March 31 with attacking Christianity, transmitting an obscene image and making an online video containing remarks about founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew that offended viewers. He agreed as a condition of his bail not to post anything online until his case is decided.
But last Tuesday, he asked for donations to fund legal fees, on his blog and Facebook page. The blog post included links to the offensive videos and posts that led to him being charged in the first place. Yee was remanded last Friday after the judge at a pre-trial conference converted the $20,000 police bail that he had been on to court bail, requiring bail to be reposted. But his parents decided against posting bail.
On Saturday, a spokesman for the Attorney-General's Chambers made it clear after queries from The Straits Times that the only reason the teenager remained in remand was that no one had come forward to provide the bail.
The spokesman added that potential bailors did not have to deposit the $20,000 with the court, but simply pledge that they are good for the money. They also need to show they can ensure that Amos sticks to the bail conditions and shows up in court when required.

Blogging Lawyer Fined By Singapore Law Society
Singapore Law Watch reports that……
In a first of its kind: A lawyer in Singapore has been fined $1,000 by the local Law Society for giving his views of an ongoing case in his blog.
The Straits Times reports that Mr Alfred Dodwell was fined by the law society for ‘publicly promoting his view of the witnesses and the merits of an ongoing court proceeding, albeit through the medium of blogs’.
The paper goes on to report…
The action, reflected last week in the Government Gazette, was taken as Mr Dodwell ‘had failed to meet the standard of conduct befitting’ a lawyer.
As a result of the case, the Law Society has cautioned lawyers about comments they make in blogs and to the media.
In an advisory two months ago, it warned lawyers not to post comments that would compromise client confidentiality, discuss ongoing cases, or make adverse comments about the clients of the opposing party.
The incident relating to Mr Dodwell, 40, is believed to centre on a 2006 case in which siblings had a spat over the will left by their late mother for an estate worth $700,000.
In it, four siblings represented by Mr Dodwell disputed the validity of the will, which bequeathed an additional $50,000 to another sibling, who was represented by lawyer Lim Joo Toon.
Mr Dodwell’s clients lost the case, but they have appealed, and the three-year saga will continue with a hearing in the Court of Appeal in September.
It is unclear what statements Mr Dodwell made in his blog, entitled ‘My God Given Life’.
The Straits Times understands that although names were not mentioned, his blog entries contained enough key details for affected parties to recognise the case.
The lawyer is also believed to have made offending remarks on more than one occasion.
When contacted yesterday, Mr Dodwell did not want to go into what his blog postings said.
He said, however, that blogs were part of the new media scene, but added: ‘I did what I did as a private individual, but I am also a lawyer.
This is a whole new
area and the Law Society has come to a view.
‘I stand guided by the society’s stand, as would all lawyers in this new media arena.’
Lawyers say that while factual reports of an ongoing case can be blogged about, commenting about witnesses or the merits of a case go beyond the pale.

Mr Dodwell should just register a nick with Sammyboy, install IP Vanish and be embraced by Burmese freedom of speech in this forum.
This is the kind of tricks that PAP likes to play. If you "go against" them by acting as lawyers to someone they want to fix for exercising his freedom of speech, they will fix you as well. Your past will be dugged up, even if the transgression has absolutely nothing to do with the matter at hand. Lightning brigade will smear you on behalf of their master. For Occupy Central in Hong Kong, they have TEAMS of legal, medical and other professions who volunteered their skills and time, knowing full well that the CCP will take note and indeed some have been barred from entering mainland China.

I am told by my uncles and aunties that this movie was shown in Sinkieland in the 1970s.
To be consistent, we have to charge the MiniSTAR who allowed the movie to be shown with sedition for mocking Christianity. If LKY were alive, he should be charged with pretending to be God. Didn't he claim to be able to rise from the dead if he senses something is wrong with Sinkieland?

Amos Yee to claim trial
Protected May 5th, 2015 | Author: Editorial
Amos Yee
Amos Yee, the teenage blogger who was initially slapped with 3 charges on 31st March is claiming trial to 2 charges which were proceeded on.
The 16-year-old was originally charged with allegedly attacking Christianity, transmitting an obscene image and making an offensive online video about the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, but the prosecution stood down the last charge.
TR Emeritus understands that it is a common practice for the prosecution to stand down charge(s) for an accused claiming trial to multiple charges, either to ensure conviction or when the stood down charge(s) is a relatively weak one.
Under normal circumstances, if an accused facing multiple charges is not claiming trial and intends to “take a certain course” (mostly plead guilty), the prosecution would proceed with all the charges and TIC (take into consideration) a few charges.
However, if an accused facing multiple charges intends to claim trial, the prosecution can and would likely stand down 1 or 2 charges which could be proceeded on at a later date, most often if the accused is acquitted of the charges which were proceeded on initially.
Hypothetically speaking, if Amos Yee intends to “take a certain course” (i.e. plead guilty) to the initial 3 charges, the prosecution would normally proceed with all the 3 charges but TIC the last charge, thus Amos Yee will only be sentenced on the 2 charges with the last charge taken into consideration during sentencing.
In this case, the teenage blogger is claiming trial and the prosecution has stood down the last charge, which could be proceeded on at a later date.
Commenting on the standing down of the last charge, one of the lawyers representing Amos Yee, Alfred Dodwell said that he wants the prosecution to proceed with all the 3 charges:
I want all three charges to go ahead. The Prosecution should either drop the charge or go ahead with it. We can’t have it hanging over our client’s head. There seems to be no reason to stand down the charge as it is in relation to the same video.
Amos Yee, who is currently in remand, was first remanded on 17th April after the judge at a pre-trial conference converted the $20,000 police bail that he had been on to court bail, which his parents refused to post.
A few days later, family and youth counsellor Vincent Law posted the bail, volunteering to counsel Amos Yee.
Subsequently, the teenage blogger was sent back to remand on 30th April after Mr Law decided to discharge himself. Mr Law reportedly told the media that he was forced to do this because Amos Yee had refused to comply with bail conditions.
Apparently, Amos Yee had continued to post on his personal blog and Facebook page, breaching bail conditions that disallowed him from doing so.
He had, on 29th April, supposedly wrote two blog posts titled “The Ridiculous Terms of my Bail” and “My Abusive Father”.
Amos Yee had also refused to take down his latest posts, when asked to do so by the judge during his recent pre-trial conference on 4th May.
Hearing dates have been scheduled for 7th and 8th of May.
Meanwhile, the man who allegedly assaulted Amos Yee on 30th April outside the State Courts has been arrested.
