    The judge was offering him an armed security escort. They were following him down the street hurling abuse and who knows what else had there not been cameras watching. There’s “not compassionate” and then there’s whatever this is.

    I can’t quite imagine being in his shoes, but I would not engage with these people. They are giving no indication that they’d accept an apology or anything less than this guy’s head on a platter. In fact, they’re behaving like an apology or any other interaction at all would lead to potential violence.

    I don’t know enough about the case to comment on the circumstances of the accident. But, it does appear to be an accident, if one that should never have happened. They’re behaving like he stalked her for weeks to murder her.

    There will come a day where he will be called up to explain himself. Let’s hear what he has to say, then. Today was not judgement day.

      An escort he specifically did not feel he needed.

      If the only time he’s willing to make an apology is when it’s in front of a court, it’s hard to take it as sincere. Today may not have been the day, but this occurred weeks ago, and it could have been done at any time.
