Singapore's big bad blogger Amos Yee has pleaded not guilty to charges of making offensive or wounding remarks against Christianity and of circulating obscene imagery at the start of his two-day trial this morning.
If he is found guilty of the first charge, he could face up to three years in jail and/or a fine. For the second charge, he could be in jail for up to three months and/or fined.
The third charge on Yee, for his statements on Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, will be dealt with later, according to a Channel NewsAsia report.
Yesterday prosecution offered to lower bail and remove the condition that Yee report to the police every morning if the 16 year old agrees to continue seeing a psychiatrist, but he declined the offer.
What a total badass.
