Even the Trustee who fired him by phone said "We still don't have all the facts"....which is the trial by Public Opinion...mount up the torch bearers and pitchfork holders and storm the castle mentality. If in the end he deserves to be destroyed then so be it....but at least give him a chance to defend himself first before you whack him.
