Re your first post: the media is incontrovertibly against him. Given their bias and the general public's, I'm perfectly fine with us critiquing both the charges and her moronic behavior. I take no pleasure and feel no schadenfreude about her death, but a spade is a spade. This is neither murder nor manslaughter.
I had hoped the charges would be dropped entirely. It's why I sat on this for so long. Part of me felt SOME prosecutor would see the writing on the wall and risk the criticism of canning the whole prosecution.
I trust the better judgement of most of our membership, yourself included, not to pass such judgement lightly.
Having said that, even in the most red pill societies, the defendant, not just owning the apartment from where the death occurred but having been present during the event, would have been "assisting the police with inquiries", with the possibility of lesser charges than murder levelled against him.
Even were he to be acquitted of any charges, the deceased family still have pretty strong grounds for a civil suit of negligence against him.
Again, this is speaking from pure objectivity.

Re your second post: I never said he was autistic. I was saying the way he came off to some people was said to be autistic-like.
I know three guys he went to school with. They found him awkward at school and say it continued after school, on the occasions where they crossed paths with him. He disappeared from many people's radar for quite a while is the general story.
That said, they were pretty surprised at how he turned out. Despite the awkwardness, he came across as more charismatic and savvy than he had been at school. He knew a lot of people they say, but tended to spread that time out.
Part of it is growing into adulthood, but there's no doubt he worked on himself very well. I think the seriousness with which he took his self-development has led to the loner perception.
I personally can relate to where you're coming from. If he's anything like myself, he worked damn hard to make a 180° turn on his character. It'd be interesting to observe his journey of self-improvement.
I forgot to add on my earlier comments — he's not just good looking, he was the rugged, juiced up and jacked looks that most Australian girls would go wet for. I'm not surprised he could end with a Tinder match list a mile long. The brother of a previous fling of mine actually shares a resemblance with him. The jacked frame, slight tan, and those dark, Anglo-Norman features. He didn't even need his high SMV professions (builder and personal trainer, studying construction management) to get laid.
Even if his looks are enough to get him laid though, I can see how he took self-improvement so seriously. It was evident in my teens that if I wasn't considered good-looking already, that my looks would mature into something much more eye-catching later on. That it wasn't enough to win friends or get laid was pretty demoralising, as I reckon it would've been for him.
I'm not sure if the 'socially awkward' tag still applies, though. I can't help but think there's some sort of ingrained prejudice against the mentally infirm on RVF — with terms like "sperg" and "assburgers retard" bandied around as insults —

Just an unfortunate combo of a crazy girl and apparently socially retarded dude not knowing how to deal with it, and some bad decisions.
just how many "socially retarded dudes" are able to achieve a notch count of 150 + in 2 years? Unless club game is that idiot-proof.
