    There’s no way you think it’s possible for him to come out of this right? The dude is either going to jail for life or getting the chair

      You know how a trial works, right?

      He still has to stand trial and be convicted by a trial of his peers.

      Even if the evidence is overwhelming, the jury still has to issue a verdict.

      It would hardly be the first time there’s a hung jury or even a nullified jury.

      You need to learn how the justice system actually works, instead of watching law and order.

        In the grand scheme of things he’s going to jail

        Jury nullification will not work and if you think it does you are delusional

        In the real world people don’t excuse murder because it was a CEO that died. You can hope that a murderer gets out of jail all you want but that doesn’t change the way that adults deal with situations
