I'm sure it is incredibly stressful to be a plaintiff in this case, but to use a man's death to frame the story -- when the circumstances were "murky" and the connection presented is one person's speculation -- seems...inappropriate on the part of the Times.
From what little they write about it, he seems like he was probably suffering some kind of mental health issue. Writing that "Mr. Marshall’s death is just one of many ways in which the case has shaped up to be a Silicon Valley drama unlike any other." just doesn't seem OK.
- kordless 13y agoI agree, and it would appear given he "pulled out a five-inch metal spike and hit one of them" I'd say the circumstances leading up to the attack were murky, not the response by the sheriff as a result of being attacked.
- brudgers 13y agoStress is a mental health issue. All mental health issues are not chronic mental illnesses. Stressful circumstances can create poor mental health. That's one of the ways we identify signs of stress - i. e. by a person's behaviour.
