This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

    Do you even know what those words mean? Why do you even want a legal hearing when this was a clear case murder. He’ll be convicted for murder. Because that’s what happened. And the law is rigid in that.

    I think you meant you want to see no sentencing. That’s up to the courts. But there’s no way he isn’t guilty of murder. The only reason we’re all up in arms saying “good” is because the person who was murdered may have quite frankly deserved it.

      What a weird thing to say. Do you know what they mean? Because it sounds like you don’t.

      prosecute: To initiate or conduct a criminal case against.

      convict: To find or prove (someone) guilty of an offense or crime, especially by the verdict of a court.

      Human laws are not like… immutable laws of nature. Only a jury can decide if he’s guilty or not, and they can just… say he isn’t.

      If that’s how you feel, look up jury nullification.

      I personally don’t see any murder here though…

      Weird that you feel this strongly based of media cycle. We don’t know what happened besides that a parasite is fead which is good
