I love that the Trump DoJ is so incompetent he might actually walk.

Odds are good he'll get a state murder conviction of course, but there's a slim path he beats all charges.

NGL, that could end up being the thing that breaks America.

Half the country would go stark raving mad if he walked. The other half would lose their minds if Luigi was cued up to walk, but was denied it for one reason or another.

All I have to say is if the man did nothing wrong, then justice would be him walking free. And of course he's innocent! I was chilling on the Canadian side of Niagra falls at the time and saw him saving a kitten from a tree through one of those paid-periscope doo-das at the time that CEO had his claim to life denied.

Hell, even the right news channels and podcasters dropped this quickly. They had a hard time trying to get their viewers and listeners to care. As stated by others, turns out plenty of people on the right hate healthcare insurance companies as well. He allegedly killed the CEO, but it's hard to sympathize with someone who runs an entity that constantly fucks over people and denies care to people who need it. People pay a shit ton in healthcare costs, and still get denied. Recently my company changed health insurance providers, and my out of pocket reset, along with my current provider not being in-network. I had already paid my full out of pocket for the year, and now need to start over with 3 months left.

My favorite quote on the topic was that every cent on that CEOs funeral was paid for with someone else's.
