And here’s your 12 jury members…

Oh, it’s Mark Cuban, Mark Zuckerburg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch,

…I could keep this joke going if I used google, but is it sad that I could name 6 people by memory just by using the parameters “Rich asshole who would have no empathy for the general public, and would absolutely convict”?

it would have to be 12 CEOs but they deff aint got to be proper owner oligarch… just scrape some middling f500 roaster with some “nonames”

but yes valid point… but defense can generally strike some of these.

this guy going to need proper counsel, I am assuming fun raising won’t be an issue. he deserves the best.

coupled with proper PR campaign on socials since TV will try to destroy him.

this jury must not convict because the glove don’t fit hehe

I mean… it does seem pretty fair? If the jury is hung it’s up to the state to retry. If the jury comes back not guilty then that’s the end of it.

Fortunately in criminal trials if the Jury can return a not guilty verdict, that’s game over for the states case. Double jeopardy they can’t retry.

Now if one guy on the Jury opposes a guilty verdict, and no verdict is reached, then the state can retry.

They could also go after him with Thompson’s family in civil suit to destroy him financially, which it turns out is not double jeopardy
