@His dudeness: you probably will not or at least be better off, because you would have handled the situation differently. At least I would hope so. Mistakes were made, possibly making things worse.
You sound as if you know more about the case ?
If he is innocent - which - for the sake of his wife and really lovely little daughter I hope he is - then that whole affair is a nightmare.
I know that he is a controversial character, but I have no axe to grind with him, he never did try to harm me. (at least I´m not aware of anything...)
