Bit optimistic that this will get to a trial.

My money is on an accident in a cell.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The cynic in me will also point out that they don't actually need the real killer either. Any random person resembling the pictures will do.

They falsely convicted a guy using "teeth marks" psudoscience BS.

Who's to say they wont also do it for a high-profile case?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That would be awfully risky if they didn't already have the real vigilante in custody or on a slab, at which point what's the point of having a fake?

Like imagine if they announced they caught him or shot him and then the real guy targets another of the bastards?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They'll just blame it on a copycat killer and start arresting any one who walks on the same side of the street as a corporate CEO

[–] RangerJosie 5 points 1 week ago

For once in my life, I'm looking forward to copycats this time.

Dude merc'd a demon and got celebrated across the nation. Paradigm shift stuff.

"He stabbed himself in the back multiple times"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think so. Epstein was a very high-profile person. This guy isn't. There's no secrets he can spill. I think if he dies under suspicious circumstances it'll be suicide by cop.

[–] RangerJosie 6 points 1 week ago

If that dude gets on the stand and tells a sob story shared by millions of other Americans of watching family members die due to insurwnce companies denying coverage. There's a non zero chance things get spicy.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 week ago (5 children)

If he is caught there will not be a trial

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He'll kill himself while both his guards take their break on the other side of the prison and the camera temporarily malfunctions.

[–] NotBillMurray 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or be killed while "resisting arrest"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

They would just say they found his dead body

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

They will just claim he was armed and shoot him on the spot

[–] makyo 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably but they should be careful about martyring this guy now

[–] FinalRemix 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I dunno... some days I feel like one of a dozen people that actually remembers the Chris Dorner week. People have a very very short, selective memory.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did something happen to Chris Corner? I love the Sneaker Pimps! :(

Thanks, that was a pretty crazy read, I guess I wasn’t paying mich attention in 2013

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

If this comes to pass, I hope it results in riots.

[–] Duamerthrax 2 points 1 week ago

If they're not careful, they'll have a much, much larger LA Riots situation.

Especially if people keep recklessly keep talking about jury nullification

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

True, but jury nullification doesn't work if people aren't aware it's an option. Just one more example of things that should be required learning in HS

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I think they were being facetious and support telling everyone about jury nullification.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

The justice system unironically doesn't want people to know of jury nullification because it means that people can work outside what's written in the law.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

I know, it's awfully irresponsible to educate folks like that.

[–] Homescool 4 points 1 week ago

Or posting a picture of the wrong suspect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago

I am under the belief that there was no murder and he had a preexisting condition of lead poisoning. As such, we unfortunately do not cover these kinds of conditions in our penal system and his claim must be denied.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

He’s gonna have the best lawyers possible with all of the legal donations from people

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If they find him, the jury WILL be hand picked to be the biggest bootlickers of all time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Doesn't the defense also have veto over jury members?

[–] Duamerthrax 3 points 1 week ago

Juries are always hand picked. Having an engineering or science background, having out spoken political opinions, or expressing a knowledge of Jury Nullification are red flags on good days. Lawyers are only trained to deal with influencable types of people. If you want to be selected, be the type of person who watches and believes advertises.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

If they ever find him, the cops will gun him down

[–] capital 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

[X] Doubt.

Y’all live in a fantasy world.

If they find him and if he makes it alive to a jury trial, I think there’s a good chance he’s convicted.

*democratic immunity

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

12 Angry Men 2? This movie sucks.

[–] bhamlin 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Especially since there aren't twelve billionaires who would feel safe showing up together to sit on his jury.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

They'd be biased too, so one way or another, it would be one hell of an explosive story.
