Question

Christopher attended a rally regarding police brutality. Christopher, feeling brazen, took the stage and yelled, "Let's burn this place down right now!" Christopher was arrested. Will Christopher be able to successfully assert his First Amendment right of freedom of speech to insulate himself from prosecution?

Answer 1

Ans. No , Christopher won't be successful in asserting his first amendment right of freedom of speech to insulate himself from prosecution because According to the Supreme Court "advocacy of the use of force" is unprotected when it is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action" and is "likely to incite or produce such action". Hence it comes under exception to the First Amendment Freedom of Speech.

Best of Luck. .
