Sounds like what many of you want is vigilante "justice", rather than the rule of law.
None of that previous case is material in this new case.

I didn't hear a call for that. The previous case has no legal bearing on this case but the notoriety of that case will move people to notice his subsequent missteps. The media is doing what it does in the marketplace: presenting the stories that people will pay for.

Incorrect. Previous criminal history is admissible if it is directly relevant to the current charge, or can be shown to demonstrate a pattern of behavior.

In this case, I believe both prerequisites have been met.

As for vigilantism... I think that's actually what bothers his detractors the most

More of the SOS. Him putting himself into hot water and his apologists apologizing for him. I predict (fearlessly) that this will continue until he is in jail long term or deceased.

I think you have something there. Were it me, I'd make sure I didn't even jaywalk or litter. O.J. is another shining example of similar stupidity- and it cost him dearly.

Z is not smart enough to realize that he will never have any peace in the US. Nothing short of moving to South America, very carefully, and adopting a new identity and staying well under the radar will yield him anything resembling a normal life. He's a good example of how it's possible to really screw up in life.

The taking of another man's life usually results in Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. The very first psychiatric hospitals in the United States came about as a result of the War Between the States (AKA "The Civil War"). Violent acts usually result in mental disorders.

Do you mean to imply that he doesn't act very fluidly?

Rough justice may yet have its day.

Don't worry about him.

(some comments from BWOT):

He'd be someone's chubby little beech in a day
...

He's screwed big time.

The Aryan Brotherhood won't have him, the Latin Kings and MS13's consider him "white washed" and the Crips/Bloods/Devil's Disciples/P. Stone Nation guys would chop him up and flush him down the toilet if given a chance.

I'd give him a year....even in protective isolation.


...

Under American laws expect to hear more of him, unless he ends up in jail and then the inmates will do the job that the law is supposed to do. Rough justice.

...

I would not want to be in his shoes if he were to be sent to a Maximum Security Penitentiary in the U.S.
Or Medium Security for that matter.
I believe that quarantine lasts 3-6 weeks, after that it's off to the housing units.
Shelf life at that point for an individual like G.Zee would most likely be 2 weeks to 4 months.
And then...BAM..projected into the next dimension.

Naturally he would opt for Protective Custody, which may extend his life up to as much as 2 years...but at some point...someone would get to him.
