Multiple Department of Justice employees "may have violated" Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial through public comments and social media posts, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday -- and it could end up swaying the judge to grant a defense motion to take the death penalty off the table.
I doubt the defense would go that route but I’m really curious how it would turn out. Like you’re allowed to use deadly force to save a life, and it could be reasonably argued that hundreds, maybe thousands of lives were saved in the aftermath of the shooting.
Realistically there’s no way that can be allowed to be a legal precident, but it would be funny to try.
My grandfather was about to be kicked out of his nursing home by united. Then the shooting happened amd they “noticed” that his care was actually still covered.
So, you really think that a new CEO will act any differently? No lives were saved. The problem is the system. Not an individual CEO.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, insurance companies knee jerk approved a shitload of claims they would have normally denied. Even if that’s been “fixed,” the positive effect happened and was not negligible.
Jury nullification doesn’t require a reason and isn’t usually cited as precedent.
I meant specifically a not guilty verdict on the grounds of defense. That would be wild. Obviously nullification or some technicality of law is going to be the best bet.
