"Last night, Veitch's distraught wife Zoe issued a plea for the media and public to "back off" her husband."
I'm only vaguely following this story, but hasn't Veitch spoken to at least 3 separate tv programs since his sentence? The 3 being Campbell Live, Close Up, and Sunday? Am I missing something? If Veitch wanted this all to disappear then he should have shut the hell up and not made any public statements whatsoever. Cry me a fucking river.
Edit - and here's an interesting editorial I just found, "How Veitch courted the press"
