You claim it as a fact that "OP chose to be in the media spotlight"
Where is the evidence for this?
He may be newsworthy but this does not mean he instigated this.
"... he chose to earn a living by being in the limelight... and he thoroughly enjoyed it..."
Again unsubstantiated opinion. Guesswork based on media stories and gossip no doubt. Where is the evidence?
Is it your contention that OP was forced or otherwise coerced into signing various sponsorship contracts, into participating in TV interviews, etc...
It would be like stating that someone went into politics but never meant to attract nor wished for media attention...laughable
OP just wanted to run fast... he was completely disinterested in fame and sponsorship revenues
"... but now that he's infamous because he shot and killed another human being, he should be allowed to choose the courtesy of anonymity... I think not !!"
How can a person whose face is known around the globe choose anonymity? That is ludicrous.
Is it your contention that all media statements made by his family, the OP and family tweets, the OP website, the "leaked" information regarding witnesses and evidence, etc... all those things were done privately but somehow ended up in the public domain against OP's wishes !!!
"OP was all too happy to portray and fuel his public image of a hero and a role-model when there was very little evidence he was either."
So little evidence that Nel even mentioned it in court. Twice. :facepalm:
LOL... you still are confused with what is "fact" and what is "opinion"... Nel stated as fact that OP was of the opinion that he was a hero and/or that others were of the opinion OP was a hero... that does not make it fact.
Just because it is fact someone has an opinion does not make that opinion a fact !!!
"... so now being portrayed as a domestic abuser and a murderer is only fair to say the least"
Its not "only fair", it's called libel.
Nope... Saying or writing OP is being portrayed as a murderer is neither defamatory nor libellous
