All the negative court dealings he has had with anyone– it’s his arrogance of I own the courtroom because of who my family is. No one can beat me in here, you will lose everything you own I will make sure of it. And he has to many men, women, children and tore familys apart…. He will find a way to get off these charges because of who he is and laugh at you while he is walking out the door….

The public seems to thrive on scandal. Was there really an attempt at ‘cover up’ and if so was there a basis for stepping back and analyzing the facts? Was there really nudity on the balcony or were clandestine photos taken? The jackals are circling ready to tear into the meat of offense and disgrace. A good juicy bit to chew on for a while.

Perhaps there was indecency. Maybe there is just cause for the charges against this valued citizen. At this point, none of can be certain of the circumstances. Let the facts fully present themselves and let guilt be established beyond a doubt before you commence the barrage of insults and holier-than-thou statements.

At this early stage of the reporting, shame should be felt not for the accused, but for the public’s propensity to be judge and jury and to engage in delightful insults and belittling. Let the facts present themselves, THEN if you feel justified in throwing your arrows of hurt and humiliation and if it makes you feel better to tear apart the career and character of this esteemed individual, then I’m sure you will, with great relish and haughty satisfaction.
