We don't know all the facts. All we have is some press reports which are open to interpretation in various ways, and inevitably can't tell the whole story.

As so often happens here people find themselves passionately squaring up in a battle about a particular case about which they don't have enough information to be certain about anything.

It would make much more sense to use this story as a jumping off point for discussing issues of principle and practice, maybe drawing on personal experience.
