What do you think about him now being a millionaire?
Not much. I’m a millionaire and so is everyone on my street, and on all the adjacent streets. A million dollars doesn’t go as far as it did 60 years ago.
I fear he will be found guilty by a jury of mouth breathers. But probably be next year before we get a verdict. And probably get life in prison, and we can force the next Dem president (if we every get one again) to commute his sentence.
I highly doubt a dem president would commute his sentence if he's found guilty, for one thing, anyone with the resources to mount a successful presidential campaign, dem or otherwise, is almost certainly going to be wealthy enough to personally sympathize more with CEOs than with people that cant get healthcare. Consider how panicked some of the CEOs and their ilk supposedly got right after the shooting, and consider that thats exactly the kind of person that a dem president, or at the very least their friends and associates, would likely be.
Yeah also I feel like everyone is forgetting how ask the Dem politicians came out and unequivocally condemned him. Why would any Dem administration be on the right side of this issue? The only difference is that they might support life in prison over the death penalty.
Best case he walks and copycats cite his case and also walk. Worst case he actually did it and they throw the book at him and no one every tries to copy him again
Per US system, he's 10% there. If he gets to a billion, guilty or innocent, the law no longer applies and he walks. If he gets to 750 million, he'll get out with time served and an ankle bracelet.

I'm hoping for a 'bad/not enough evidence' not-guilty verdict.
I'm unfortunately expecting the worst.

I'm betting on a hung jury

Do they measure everyone's dicks before or after the trial?

"alright, step up. If you're going to have a say in this hearing, you're going to need to be at least 7.5 inches."

Every jury I've been on has been full of really disappointing people. But I've only been on two, so it's a small sample size.

Even if he gets off, jury nullification or whatever, the 1% will have him whacked.
P00ptart@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 136d
So that he becomes a martyr? I don't think they want that.

We’re not doing much now, even with:
And you think the 1% whacking Luigi will incite action.

I hope he doesn't become a billionaire. Then he won't be allowed to exist!
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 136d
You don't just become a billionaire. Unless you inherit it of course.

Well, he now has to assassinate himself.
Just kidding, no one is that black-and-white, right?
