If it was written by a reporter then it was written with an agenda, and I categorically reject it. We have an established system for determining blame in any such situation, and it's called 'Court,' and it never goes there unless there's a suit. So..... what's the big damn deal? It'll go to court and get settled, or it'll get settled before it goes to court. And after it's settled, the news will smell more blood and head back in for the feeding frenzy. I won't be a part of it.

Is it not important to be aware of the decisions being made by the judiciary system? If we, as a society, pay no attention to these things, then the potential for injustice and abuse of power increases exponentially. Taking a slightly charged example, look at the Trayvon Martin case - the courts decided in a manner people found unquestionably unjust. If everyone took your point of view, nothing would have been said, and the blatant racism that exists in court would never have been questioned and brought back into the spotlight as an issue.
Now, I'm not trying to spark a Trayvom Martin case debate. I'm just using it as an example. In essence, the courts cannot simply be left to do as they wish without the knowledge or mediation of wider society, meaning it's important to pay attention to and discuss controversial court cases.
