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.
Since I’m not in a jury selection panel I would recommend any patriotic American who finds themselves in one shuts the fuck up about their knowledge of jury nullification until they are selected. Then says fuck the law and dutifully informs their fellow jurors about it.
What the fuck are they going to do? Prosecute you? Make jury nullification a headline?
Imagine how your trial for nullification would go.
There is no way this person will be apprehended alive, they could walk up to a police station naked with their hands up get on their knees and beg for their life, every single police officer they could possibly encounter will universally pull out their handgun and immediately murder them in broad daylight and they will be cheered on by Good Morning America when they do for keeping everyone safe.
If you think the police will do otherwise you misunderstand the essential function of police, especially in the US, which is to protect capital and the owners of capital and sustain inequality through violence.
