'SOZ SIZ, I WAS SOZZLED' Prince Harry's girlfriend Meghan Markle's half-brother vows to 'seek help' for drinking his drinking problem after his arrest for 'holding gun to lover's head'

Surprisingly, the article seems relatively unbiased as far as the Sun goes however the uses of photo's in the article isn't very flattering toward Thomas Markle Jr. The Sun choose to portray him as a drunkard and a convict in every photo of him. And while this is what the article is surrounded by, it wouldn't hurt to have a normal, family photo of him to show he's a person too, with flaws of course but one's that don't make up his entirety.

Comparing it to the writing though, it's clear whoever wrote this still has a conscious as they decided to still include quotes that helped defend Thomas, such as "He is very sorry and is apologising to everyone. He just needs some time to heal and reflect on life. But he wants to apologise for everything.". It seemed something slipped through the cracks and somebody forgot to fire this writer.

In my opinion, he should definitely be prosecuted but considering that he does appear to be genuinely trying to correct his mistakes, maybe just community service, rehabilitation and no more gun permits if he had one in the first place.
