Doesn't this seem unnecessarily harsh for what he did?
It's a shame that he took these actions or that he was punished for them?
What's the news here? That he did someone wrong? Because to me it looks like it's working as intended.
Given what happened before you really can't fault him.
The guy was bad and the action taken was bad. One can't be afraid to say something in case someone might overreact to it.
Wasn't this trial an example of him being held accountable?
I mean, it's unfortunate, but can you blame him?
Why not out the guy? at the very least, as warning to other people to be weary around him.
I sincerely hope you're wrong and he ends up prosecuted for this, but I fear you're on the money.
I don't think that absolves him from any of the scorn though. In fact it might make his shortcoming even worse.
