I'm hoping for a 'bad/not enough evidence' not-guilty verdict.
I'm unfortunately expecting the worst.

Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

What do you think about him now being a millionaire?
Not much. I’m a millionaire and so is everyone on my street, and on all the adjacent streets. A million dollars doesn’t go as far as it did 60 years ago.
You just suck at finances.
I'm betting on a hung jury
Do they measure everyone's dicks before or after the trial?
What an awkward job that must be
"alright, step up. If you're going to have a say in this hearing, you're going to need to be at least 7.5 inches."
There is a joke in that but I am not making it lol
I fear he will be found guilty by a jury of mouth breathers. But probably be next year before we get a verdict. And probably get life in prison, and we can force the next Dem president (if we every get one again) to commute his sentence.
I highly doubt a dem president would commute his sentence if he's found guilty, for one thing, anyone with the resources to mount a successful presidential campaign, dem or otherwise, is almost certainly going to be wealthy enough to personally sympathize more with CEOs than with people that cant get healthcare. Consider how panicked some of the CEOs and their ilk supposedly got right after the shooting, and consider that thats exactly the kind of person that a dem president, or at the very least their friends and associates, would likely be.
Yeah also I feel like everyone is forgetting how ask the Dem politicians came out and unequivocally condemned him. Why would any Dem administration be on the right side of this issue? The only difference is that they might support life in prison over the death penalty.
Every jury I've been on has been full of really disappointing people. But I've only been on two, so it's a small sample size.
Per US system, he's 10% there. If he gets to a billion the law no longer applies and he walks. If he gets to 750 million, he'll get out with time served and an ankle bracelet.
Even if he gets off, jury nullification or whatever, the 1% will have him whacked.
So that he becomes a martyr? I don't think they want that.
We’re not doing much now, even with:
- regime endorsed street executions,
- rollbacks on elections for midterms via postal service shenanigans,
- a pedophile and generalized rapist for President,
- religious threat, action, and rollback on the civil liberties of half the population,
- Healthcare,
- RFK and admin dismantling the cheapest most effective piece of healthcare we have: vaccines
- A war which will make transportation in this giant nation more onerous, and render more people homeless,
- impending collapse of the dollar,
- billionaires on their way to being trillionaires under the new tax code,
- Veterans disrespected and harassed and randomly ejected from their jobs weekly,
- A presidential police force stalking the streets, paid with our tax dollars,
- A partridge in a pear tree
And you think the 1% whacking Luigi will incite action.
Best case he walks and copycats cite his case and also walk. Worst case he actually did it and they throw the book at him and no one every tries to copy him again
Well, he now has to assassinate himself.
Just kidding, no one is that black-and-white, right?
I hope he doesn't become a billionaire. Then he won't be allowed to exist!
You don't just become a billionaire
Cool
Not really.
K. Thanks then?
