First off, allegedly killed him. He hasn't been convicted yet and saying he did it right off the bat is pretty messed up. Innocent until proven guilty. And secondly, it's pretty telling that their answer was to hide instead of actually treating people like people.

This is what I noticed too, Business insiders legal language is fucked in this article.

Even the authorities are making improper statements of presumed guilt. No fair trial is even possible at this point. It this isn't grounds for immediate dismissal I don't know what is.

Sounds like he helped the economy by creating more jobs.

Ohhhh the money only trickles down if they're afraid. Makes sense.

Just think of all the jobs they'll create to clean up the puddles that trickle down their legs!

Health insurance execs responsible for the destruction of so many lives fear for their own?

Sounds like society starting to heal.

Let's not count our chickens before they hatch. Need to see a few more eat it along with their bootlicking mercs before we hit that point.

They're not dead yet.

How is any of this relevant to proving theirs case.

The prosecutors are fucking pathetic. You say he did it, then fucking go to court and provide it.

Why are they litigating this in the media? Do they really think anyone besides boomers, bootlcikers, regime whores and their owners actually care?

If all of 40 of them got guned down, everyone would celebrate. Fucking parasites.

I hope they sleep well 🐸

Feels like they are poisoning their jury pool more than it already is

"as evidence to prove this person sitting here killed the CEO, all the executives got scared and one even changed their physical appearance"

I don't see what the point of bringing this up, unless you are trying to present as evidence.

Monsters being afraid of lightbulbs being shone on their misdeeds isn't proof of anything other than the fact that they are afraid that their actions will get them the same body bag that their ~~victims~~ customers get.

They feel only the threat of immediate retaliatory killing and changing physical appearance were their best chance of preventing themselves from coming to harm, rather than getting people the medical treatment they need.

Honestly their best defence would have been to immediately say "oh thank God he's gone, we can finally start approving the much needed care we have always wanted to" and spend a week or two eating money until people are convinced they aren't soulless ghouls. Whether they believe it or not doesn't matter, they could have maxed out their PR but instead decided more money was the better option.

I've no sympathy at all.

BNL reference in the wild. Not what I expected to read.

No one even skin the article? This is the prosecution trying to make the terrorism charge stick. Any prosecutor worth his salt, and morally lacking enough to take the case, would of course try to show that Mangione's actions caused terror. (Don't come at me with "alleged", this is the prosecution talking.)

I should also note that the reason they're going for the terrorism charge is that's the only way, in this case, to call for the death penalty in New York State.
