Personally (and I am not speaking for re-Cycles here) I would call "going forty-nine on a huffy powered by a lawn mower with a badly installed flimsy front fender" natural selection in action however based on the subsequent trial he apparently didn't quite succeed. On the other hand based on his arguments and subsequent appeal, I have confidence he will be successful in the future (in editing the gene pool, not at trial).
