Eh... your arguement sound disingenuous here. It is absolutely possible to delineate the court of public opinion from the official court.

They both bear ramifications. They are also both capable of apt judgements, despite their flaws.

Edit. The push back in defense of LMG seems to he 'not enough evidence '. I will argue, again, that the whole point is that evidence comes after discovery.

If i were an employer in LMG's position, i would be propping up the former employee while also evidencing my lack of guilt. Linus is doing neither.
