This is so ridiculous. He killed a dude. That’s worthy of the death penalty (not in Texas)!? People have done worse to many people, or children, or… and not been sentenced to death.
Even if you’re 100% against murder in all circumstances and feel he should be locked up forever, you have to see this is just CEO’s exercising their outsized influence to discourage further punishment of the 1% and corporate leaders that prey on Americans…
People kill people in war and they don’t go to jail. Luigi fought for us in the war against abusive healthcare monopoly prices. He is a hero and should be freed.
His is a wonderful use case for jury nullification. Just remember never to use that term during deliberations. Just vote not guilty, and if pressed, say that the evidence doesn’t support the charge. And say nothing more. Jurors are not obliged to explain their reasoning to the judge or to other jurors.
This actually isn’t enough, right? It just results in a hung jury, and the prosecution gets another bite at the apple. You need to actively convince your fellow jurors to render a not-guilty verdict.
