Put the pressure on him based on his WP bullying, not his blog fiction. He's a cyberbully, not a real life murderer, so focus on the shit he's actually done--there's plenty to work with.
I've had very little to do with Phil/Snowspinner. He was just one more of the thugs sinking the boot into me, not one of the ringleaders, so I don't know the background to his crmes. Maybe we should start up some sort of "rouges gallery" wiki where we can all add and co-operate on dossiers of juicy quotes. It's important to document these things properly, because journalists tend to be lazy buggers who won't get their hands dirty with complex research, and even when they do they hate anything that has to be explained to their readers.
Do the research and pre-digestion for them and they have a story. At the very least it is something they can use to counter the self-serving and one-sided stories Phil is telling. I was thinking it was a shame that the police couldn't tell their side of the story, but it looks like this lawyer chap might be able to get that out in the open, and it would be interesting to hear their reports.
"We entered the premises at 1015. After a short delay we gained admittance. The smell hit us first, suggestive of rotting flesh and yoghurt. The subject, obviously distressed, shrank into a corner. Empty pill bottles were scattered around and a nearby toilet completed it's cycle. Rats glared at us from the litter of pizza box's and Diet Cola bottles in the corner. A computer sat on the kitchen table, it's cord jerked from the socket as it's fan noise died away. We reassured the subject that it was just a routine inquiry, but he was upset and unwilling to meet our gaze, his eyes fixated on my upper body throughout the interview."
