    after Luigi Mangione killed CEO Brian Thompson

    Has he already been convicted?

    Terrible headline, but I can only guess that “Business insider” would rather defend a corrupt CEO than the victim of insurance hell.

      There’s no question the general public already believes he killed the guy, if people didn’t, we wouldn’t have all the Luigi memes and people using “Luigi” as a substitute for assassination.

        that is indeed the goal, and theyve achieved it. doesn’t change the fact that it immedietly should lead to a mistrial. emphasis on should, because we all know theyre not gonna let their black sheep get away

          I think they’ll end up getting a conviction on murder, they can prove the planning and pre-meditation.

          The terrorism charge is BS, the general public weren’t terrorized, if anything, they cheered it. That’s going to be way harder to prove.

          Yeah, the executives were scared, reaction from the public was “Well, yeah, they should be!”
