Let's revisit this post.
The "inquiry" that you speak of in this context is a criminal investigation followed by a trial. Even if you saw it happen, he's innocent until a court proves him guilty. That's how law works. That doesn't stop you from intervening, but if you simply read about it in the paper, well how do you know he isn't legally justified in his actions? Maybe she attacked him first, or even had a knife. Unlikely, but still, a court has to decide if he is legally accountable.
