I wonder… jury nullification is a thing… and when the jury is selected, i wonder if the prosecutors will aim for low aged people… because what are the odds that the elderly general public didn’t get screwed over by their health care provider? Yet the younger crowd is all for that eating the rich thing… i guess they will have to fill the jury with CEO’s

My friend made a good point…it’s better for United health and the ownership class if he doesn’t get caught

The media is trying hard to spin this one - how are they going to spin his story to make it not look justified? Was it his wife? His child? Himself? All of the above?

If he gets to tell his story, I’m certain it’s going to make this look even more justified. People who get their news mostly from mainstream media might have sympathy for the victim now, but letting him tell his story, or even becoming a martyr

I'll bet they're waiting to name a new CEO until he gets caught. Nobody is going to want that job until he is.

Yes gather them all in one place. Maybe we get a second trial afterwards

I wonder if a good lawyer could argue that any jury that finds him guilty are, by definition, not his peers.

I don’t see that working even if the court system hadn’t evolved into an apparatus solely for the enforcement of class strata. His peers are the general public.

Or he could just not get caught.

Yeah, it's not that hard, I do it everyday
