Courting Acclaim.

This:
A protest was staged on Saturday at the Auckland home of Vector Chairman Michael Stiassny over the treatment of website editor Vince Siemer.

And this:
Activist Penny Bright, who spearheaded Saturday's protest, says Siemer has been let down severely by the justice system. She says the defamation has never been proven in court and the judge who handed down Siemer's sentence should be sacked.

were always going to happen ... and it is entirely proper.
Justice should always be public, it should follow 'due process,' it should be reflective of public belief/perspective and definitely beyond reproach.
