For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

I am legitimately shocked they're gonna let him go to court. The risk of jury nullification is too high, and people are ready to give him romantic power. If he ended up dead in his cell from a toilet paper noose, that would be a warning to the plebes to get back in line.

You mean when that happens. It's only a matter of time, unfortunately.

that would be a warning to the plebes to ~~get back in line.~~ bloody their guillotines.

FTFY. He won't get so much as a hangnail awaiting trial.

What? You're shocked they gave him due process? What was the other option?

Oh I see, are you saying they should have killed him in jail or something?

Are you saying that won't happen mysteriously in a few years time?

[–] JustAnIdiotPlsIgnore@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

I don't doubt it at all that it would happen and that there would be no consequences. Which would ultimately lead to more ceo deaths imo. Would be a bad move.

There is no way in hell it gets nullified

No. But there's a non-zero chance greater than OJ Simpson had.
