The process-Goris in 2005 received the media attention but now sits Goris fourteen years in prison, according Malego. "He does anonymously his best to earn another chance. He works, he tries to compensate the victims and he works on himself. He realizes that he was wrong and try again to build something, but that is completely traversed by the broadcast.Everything is again raked up, too, and especially the fact that my client had then far-right ideas. He is 14 years older and wiser and has renounced those ideas, but is again that picture hung him by that broadcast, without any qualification was applied. "
