How a "F*** Muamba. He's dead!!!" tweet turned this student's life upside down...

A student jailed for using Twitter to mock heart attack football
star Fabrice Muamba was banned from university today for the rest of the
year.

Liam Stacey, 21, was suspended from Swansea University in the wake of his public fall from grace.

He has been released from jail after serving half of a 56-day sentence for admitting racially aggravated public disorder.

University chiefs have imposed a full suspension on the final year biology student until the end of the academic year.

(...)

Stacey describes his actions as a "stupid, massive, massive mistake and I've paid a big price for it".

He tells the programme: "What I struggle to get my head around was the week or two before I was just a normal kid getting on with my work in university, getting on with life, playing rugby with all my mates, then a week or two later I was just going to prison, everything had been turned upside down."
