And, both the conviction and sentence should be just - if it isn't, then we all risk being accused and convicted unfairly. Justice is not reserved for the victim only.

He shows up when its convenient for him and acts like he can do whatever he wants to do, whenever he wants to do it. He then has the nerve to complain and cry spilt milk because someone else actually prepares and does their work the proper way (in advance) rather than just winging it.
