Which means he'd only be convicted on federal charges, which means the next president could pardon him (apnews.com) More: Hero, Law, Terrorism, New York City, New York, Prosecutor, Insurance, Single person, Murder 223 clicks;posted toMain »on 02 May 2025 at8:05 AM(48 minutes ago) | Favorite | Watch | share: Copy Link 29 Comments Enable JavaScript for Fark in order to vote for entries.

BizarreMan (8) Funniest 42 minutes ago No president would pardon him. Unless it was stinky doing it in a vain hope to gain dem/liberal support. Kinda like how he pardoned Blago. NewportBarGuy (13) Funniest 41 minutes ago You're on massive f*cking drugs if you think any President would pardon him. WickerNipple (14) Funniest 37 minutes ago If you vote Luigi 2028 he can pardon himself! FlashHarry (1) Funniest 34 minutes ago He may have rid the world of an evil piece of shiat, but he still committed first-degree murder. Nobody will pardon him. Plus, you can't call for due process for Abrego Garcia on one hand and then claim that the United Healthcare guy was guilty on the other. houstondragon (7) Funniest 33 minutes ago Gubbo: Why would he need a pardon. He said he's not guilty, and I believe him. Dude was down in Atlanta the whole time from my eyewitness testimony (12) Funniest 33 minutes ago WickerNipple: If you vote Luigi 2028 he can pardon himself!

AmbassadorBooze (3) Funniest 30 minutes ago The overmasters won't allow the hero to be pardoned. If it looks like he won't be convicted, Luigi is going to be found dead of suicide in his cell, double tapped, to the back of the head. Problem solved.

Plus, you can't call for due process for Abrego Garcia on one hand and then claim that the United Healthcare guy was guilty on the other. I can certainly claim that US insurers have killed countless people by denying claims that should have been covered. And I can go a step further and say that C level execs should face charges. /probably can't get murder //but wrongful death or something BizarreMan (8) Funniest 33 minutes ago WickerNipple: If you vote Luigi 2028 he can pardon himself! Hell once he announces his candidacy they will have to let him out so he can campaign. It would be unconstitutional to prevent his supporters from seeing him in person! backhand.slap.of.reason (4) Funniest 33 minutes ago Heck, the current president would pardon him if he believed it would turn an L into a W.

Class solidarity for one, and the media would rake that president over the coals for another. (3) Funniest 32 minutes ago Jury selection in this case will be the key to whether or not he's convicted. All he needs is one person who thinks insurance companies suck and we could see a jury nullification, or not guilty if they're especially persuasive.

Difficulty finding someone who isn't a C suite at a health insurance company who doesn't think those companies suck.

Well thank goodness that most Americans benefit have never been screwed over, or had a family member screwed over, by an insurance company. I mean I guess you have to lie during jury selection that you believe the police, what's one more lie. baron von doodle (3) Funniest less than a minute ago Gubbo: FlashHarry: He may have rid the world of an evil piece of shiat, but he still committed first-degree murder.

Doctor wants an MRI of my neck. Insurance won't cover that until I see a physical therapist. The only problem is that there's no injury and the MRI is completely diagnostic. JeffSon069 (5) Funniest less than a minute ago I'm more interested in the plan by the defense team to call into question the nature of the search and seizure at his arrest. Police apparently assumed guilt without probable cause at their first contact with him, which might have violated his 4th amendment rights (thereby negating 100% of the physical evidence he had with him when he was arrested). It won't work, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out. (0) Funniest less than a minute ago NewportBarGuy: You're on massive f*cking drugs if you think any President would pardon him.

Luigi can shoot another dozen people and he still won't have 34 felonies. You kidding, they can stack on tons of state charges alone from each one depending on the case and state. With this there's probably all sorts of add-ons, gun x distance from a school, x distance from a park, mask with a gun, unlicensed firearm, ammo unlicensed, improper storage, transportation, etc. some felonies. It's how they got stinky with 34 in NY. They usually do that to get pleas, it's why they have like 95% conviction rates.

Based on reports on the time they played loosey goosey with the evidence, to the point even Columbo would say "that's just too much" gabethegoat (1) Funniest less than a minute ago look, even if he did do it, it's pretty clear that the CEO was coming right for him, ergo, justified. Last Man on Earth (1) Funniest less than a minute ago The pardoning joke is well in hand, so let's look at the actually serious double jeopardy part: No. No farking way. Did this lawyer even go to law school? Double jeopardy doesn't apply to the state and federal governments each charging someone. It's called the dual sovereignty rule, it's been in place for ages, and it's been actively affirmed and upheld by SCOTUS. "Vigorous defense of your client" is all well and good, but this was never going to fly, and it's hard to believe a competent attorney would actually have a good-faith belief that it was a viable argument.
