Katarzyna G. matka Bartosza G. podejrzanego o zabójstwo 16-letniej Mai z Mławy, po ogłoszeniu wyroku za hejt i zniesławienie ostro skomentowała decyzję sądu, pisząc w sieci: “Na żadne przeprosiny proszę nie liczyć”.
Catherine G. and sentence for hate
The District Court in Mława found that a woman violated Maya's personal property from Mława, committing libel and persistent harassment on the Internet. According to legal records, the woman was to publish even about 10,000 offensive entries in which she attacked the murdered teenager and her loved ones.
In his judgment, the court ordered PLN 150 thousand in compensation for his father Mai and ordered a public apology in the press, internet and social profiles of Catherine G. In addition, he obliged her to remove all insulting content and charged judicial costs, stressing that the hate wave significantly aggravated the trauma of the victim's family.

“Na żadne przeprosiny proszę nie liczyć”
Zamiast refleksji po wyroku Katarzyna G. opublikowała w sieci kolejne ostre komentarze. Stwierdziła, że “na żadne przeprosiny proszę nie liczyć” i dodała, że to ona rzekomo czeka na przeprosiny od rodziny Mai oraz ich pełnomocników, zarzucając im kłamstwa i manipulację.
- I'm sorry. Don't count on any apology, I'm waiting for an apology from Kowalski, Kasprzyk, Bogielska and KKE. The court believed lies and manipulation like Greece, that does not mean that this fight for my dignity and my son is over! – wrote Catherine G.
W swoich wpisach Katarzyna G. twierdzi, że wyrok to “kpina” i zapowiada dalszą walkę o “godność swoją i syna”, powołując się przy tym na konstytucyjną wolność słowa. Zderzenie języka o “prawach obywatelskich” z faktem brutalnej zbrodni i krzywdzenia rodziny ofiary pokazuje, jak hejt potrafi wypaczyć pojęcie odpowiedzialności za słowa.
"Hipocrisis of the Polish System. They received the recorder and the whereabouts of Bartek and instead of being grateful that the Kowalskis could bury their daughter instead of looking for her for the rest of their lives, they avenge themselves mediaally allowing the hate of Mr Catherine and Bartek! Shame."

What After Judgment
Mai's family representative assessed the sentence as a good step towards real protection of hate victims, although he admitted that a higher amount was initially demanded – PLN 1 million. He stressed that the case of Catherine G. in practice shows that online entries can end not only in a call to delete content, but also in serious financial and image costs.
The family and their lawyers do not rule out further legal steps if the woman does not comply with the sentence or continues offensive entries. This is an important signal for other haters – ignoring court decisions can open the way to further cases, already on the border of criminal responsibility.
