Without wanting to get into a discussion about the actual event, I do sort of wish people wouldn't draw parallels in relation to sentencing for motorists hitting cyclists. It creates a very "them" and "us" narrative. Neither is sentencing in relation to one, dependent on the other, and it carries a whiff of double-standards given the general forum consensus against victim blaming.
While I'm happy not to discuss the ins and outs, I fail to see any issue with commenting about it. People regularly comment on trials. Just because some of his posts from here or anywhere else may be used doesn't somehow magic up a danger of people's opinions prejudicing the trial any more than in other cases.
