I don't see how Thiel escapes responsibility for his actions; nobody forced him to do it.
The judicial system of course is culpable, but it's much bigger than the courts themselves: Voters, politicians, legislatures, the legal industry, etc.

But the fact that you or I think they are innocent or guilty shouldn't even be relevant. We're not the jury, we didn't hear attorneys from both sides in a legal process, etc. We need to support a fair process, the rule of law not the rule of wealthy men or the angry mob.
I may think someone is guilty of a crime, but that doesn't mean I should shoot them or otherwise abuse them.
