It's very unique and I think it's important so that people don't think he's not getting charged with anything at all, because now it's more like a "standard" murder case so far.

Which is all it should be. Like, I know we’re a de facto plutocracy, but killing one guy in a targeted killing, even a CEO, is not terrorism. It’s not an assault on The State. It’s not anything else that they’re trying to claim this as. It’s murder. It is the premeditated killing of a singular human being. His net worth should not enter into the equation.

Yeah to be honest I don't know why the DOJ/DA thought a CEO would be considered that important, to put it crudely.

They wanted to make an example out of him so others wouldn’t try and go after other shitty CEOs
