Meh. According to the source you posted, that exchange was simply “my wife found two reports that Apollo Legend committed suicide. If it’s true, I will not shed a tear. I will try to suppress a smile or a giggle.” Yes, considering Apollo’s eventual death, it’s shitty, no doubt.
However, according to your source, that was in a private text to an unidentified party, who I presume is affiliated with Mitchell either socially or professionally. It wasn’t a public post, and it wasnt directed to Apollo. It doesn’t even state that Mitchell hopes that it is true. Just that he’s not going to be broken up about it. I’ve said far more inflammatory shit with regards to the barons of the American insurance industry. Does that mean that I should be found culpable for the death of Brian Thompson? I sure hope not.
Caveat: I only read the source you posted, so perhaps there’s wider context I’m missing.
It was supposed to be private between Mitchell and someone else in the scene. I don’t mean to say that it makes Jobst’s big claim true, just that Mitchell isn’t entirely absolved and Jobst wasn’t completely wrong on everything either.
The 118 page court judgment is online (I can’t expect anyone to read it) and in general, the court sides with Jobst on most things, it’s just that none of it really applies to the big “caused Apollo’s suicide” claim Mitchell actually sued over. That’s on a different level.
