My view is that if he was aquitted by a jury of his peers, then I will stand by their decision in judging him not guilty, no matter what my opinion prior was.

Cases like this are always a media circus, and its difficult for third party spectators like ourselves to really be sure what's hype, what's fact, and what's media milking of guranteed story.

In terms of him not being guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, I too will respect their decision. However, I do not accord GZ 'pure as the driven snow' status. His paranoia and vindictiveness moved him to see a problem where there wasn't one. He was the author of this drama, even if TM did possibly end up bringing part of it on himself.

GZ was a wanna-be tough guy, I always figured that he had been no much for a skinny young athlete. His mma trainer affirmed what I had thought about him, that is, a wimp and a wuss.

This event will dog him all his days. He'll be a bit like Rodney King, that is, every misstep of his in future will be widely broadcast.

Completely agree.

I would add that we follow the law. If done properly, justice may derive. But it is not guaranteed. There is no perfect justice on Earth. We do the best we can.
