A law student who made anti-Muslim slurs the day after the Christchurch mosque shootings says he is not a racist. Sam Richard Scott Brittenden (19) was sentenced in the Dunedin District Court yesterday to 125 hours' community work and six months' supervision after pleading guilty to disorderly behaviour. Brittenden - a law student at the University of Otago - was partying on the streets of Dunedin with other students on March 15. After the hearing, Brittenden told the Otago Daily Times he was not a racist. A University of Otago spokesman said now the court process had concluded, it would consider whether any action was necessary under the code of student conduct.
