On trial for a Gollum meme

A Turkish court has asked experts to analyse the "Lord of the Rings" character Gollum to decide whether a doctor should be jailed for comparing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the figure, reports said Wednesday. 
Bilgin Ciftci is facing up to two years in jail for "insulting" the president after sharing images comparing Erdogan to Gollum, a thin, pale, gangrel creature with a personality split between good and evil in J R R  Tolkien's fantasy novels and the hugely successful films.
