Were his rantings on here presented as part of the case against him ?
I do not believe so.
His posts here were removed swiftly, long before it was understood there were to be legal proceedings and no requests were made to me for a copy.
This doesn't mean that he didn't post elsewhere, i.e. Facebook or Twitter or other forums. But nothing on this forum was used in the proceedings as far as I know.
They were the dumb outpourings of someone who appeared to be in a state of shock.
Whether or not he has shown remorse, understood a life has been lost, had time to have changed the outcome, etc... that wasn't really in those posts he made.
His posts were him processing shock, publicly, mixed in with a degree dumb bravado.
The merits of the case and the incident should be judged on the evidence and eye witnesses. Not on the rantings of a fool.
