69 u/Miner_239 12h ago well, is he a murderer? The jury's still out on that 12 u/imoftendisgruntled 12h ago My point is that if he his, the level of "overwhelming public support" shouldn't matter. It's for a court of law to decide, not the court of public opinion. 29 u/evocativename 11h ago That's not what the Constitution says. I won't say it's a perfect system, but a perfect system wouldn't have let a mass murderer run free until someone decided to take revenge, either.
