Man I hope they can't find an impartial jury to try this guy, but I know they'll find 12 bastards.

All it takes is 1 guy who says the right bullshit.

i bet they'll change the venue to the federal circuit so that they can move it to a red state where there's plenty of boot lickers.

Funny enough, a lot of the right also like the guy for what he did.

That's because most red voters actually think blue, they're just too fucking dumb to know.

Too fucking true. Describe any left leaning principle without using any buzzwords and they'll agree all day.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

fortunately so.

i suspect that there's a high prevalence of boot licking among rightists; hence my comment moving to a red state.

A jury comprised entirely of C-suite people would probably do the job. They're undoubtedly going to try this.

[–] ohitsbreadley@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not a lawyer, but I'd hope there would be an argument against this since a jury of c-suite people would not be his peers.

[–] zigmus64@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

The prosecution and defense have to agree on the jury makeup if I understand the process correctly…

Well if all his peers think he's okay I guess they gotta let him go

Nullification !

If only the CEOs realized their vulnerability and that none of them could individually improve their image without going against shareholder interests, so they appealed to the government for blanket regulations to limit exploitation.

I know there's no way he gets off scot free; he's not a member of the corporate elite. But I can hope.
