    Mass shooter don’t get the death penalty.

    School shooters don’t get the death penalty.

    But kill one rich, white guy while avoiding bystanders?

      To be fair most school shooters and mass shooters end in suicide, either old-fashioned or officer-assisted.

    Reminder to any potential jurors, make the prosecution do their job. https://beyondcourts.org/sites/default/files/2022-07/Jury-Nullification-Toolkit-English_0.pdf

      Anyone who donated or expressed positive opinion about Mangione won’t be able to be a jury, so don’t have to worry about that.

      Thought, it’s interesting that it is supposedly illegal to mention jury nullification in court, but the whole reason we have jury is so this outcome is possible.

        It’s not illegal to mention jury nullification, and even a prospective juror talking about it won’t necessarily get them sent home.

          I saw somewhere saying that judge could punish person for mentioning it to other jurors, but when I search for it I see saying that it would just end up with being removed, so I guess you’re right

    Considering the healthcare industry already condemns us to death, isn’t this double jeopardy?

      Considering we die either way is this not justification to never give up until every last one is gone?
