John's case had once drawn widespread attention.
But regrettably, after his case, one event in Los Angeles overshadowed another. At that time, who still cared about your LGBT issues?
Except for those interest-related groups.
John's case garnered attention once again because it was also a story of justice being served through revenge.
The protagonist seeking revenge was doing so for himself, whereas the victim's side did not suffer an equivalent loss of life.
Thus, although many people supported John, they would regretfully say, "I respect and admire his choice, but I also know he must face the consequences."
Even the LGBT groups speaking out for John only hoped to lessen his punishment.
Jonas's approach was to prove that John suffered from an episodic mental illness.
If everything went well, if luck was on his side, and if John had a great talent for acting, then it would be multiple personalities.
