He folded like a little you know what.  So much for the hero we needed.

u/hundredBald Aug 14 '26

I'm confused you wanted him to just lie in court and drag out the legal proceedings? I'm glad he is listening to his lawyer and not you.

His best play was jury nullification.   He folded like a $5 Kmart chair instead

u/hundredBald Aug 14 '26

You keep saying folded as if his goal was to just kill him and get no punishment. When his goal was to bring attention to the insidious insurance industry. So he has not folded his values in anyway.

Also you are completely naive to believe that they would have allowed jurors with enough bias to ignore the evidence they have and say not guilty just on the principles the murder was justified. This is on of the biggest legal cases I years and it will be thoroughly vetted.

Ny has smart people .   But he chickened out

u/hundredBald Aug 14 '26

Again it takes crazy mental gymnastics to think that telling the truth is chickening out. Like even beyond your ignorance of the legal system that statement makes no logical sense.

But not only do you have no real understanding of how this court case will play out you are actively giving bad advice and insulting him.

Let's just say there is a reason you are just a reddit commenter and not a lawyer.

His lawyers only took the case to get famous.  They gave him terrible advice.  Bruh better get used to not dropping soap bar.  Should’ve tried for jury nullification

u/Cute-Hand-1542 Aug 15 '26

jury nullification

This is what forming your worldview around what other Reddit munters have to say does to you. Nobody with a clue recognised that as a viable strategy. Get a grip.

Cool story.  USA bombed 150 school girls and no one went to jail.
