Agreed. Some people seem to want two-tier justice: their man Tommy to get off because he's a 'saint' and everyone else to be convicted. Also quite amusing how many of those supporters blame 'the judges' and 'the establishment' when it was a jury trial!
Tommy also made a couple of poor choices:
1. If you're a public figure courting attention for your cause, you need to follow the letter of the law. He clearly did not.
2. It's also poor judgment to think that you can intimidate national journalists in the same way that you might be able to intimidate opponents in your own circle. However annoying those journalists might be, they are risky people to intimidate.
